Oh boy i will try to answer all your Qs in general i got MKSAP 15 CD version on eBay for $20 and 14 you can download it free from some file sharing sites if you google it and i read General IM note from 15 and did the Qs from both. 15 is 2010 edition so it has all the new guideline stuffs. so for the notes go with 15 and for the Qs if you have to pick only one go with 14.

yes UW ccs online subscription is good for the exam if you practice all cases multiple times and master em all.

I think any pneumonics out there confuses you more than do any good so i dont know :-)

As it has been said by many ppl who actually passed the exam here the UW CCS score has no predictive value what so ever towards your real exam.

i'm doing kqbank for step 3.. how did u find it? what scores should i be looking at?
did u do the new kqbank online? i am getting 63% n have 250q left..
thanks n good luck!!!

@dandywalker you are getting 63% on Kaplan Qbank?! i think that is a pretty cool score i did it with 58% finally so you are in a good shape and for some reason i found kaplan qbank more harder than UW anyways in any qbank anything over 60% is good predictor so dont lose your momentum and go all the way to the finish line.
