Daniel,
What types of questions did you get from biostatistics and epidemiology ? I also had " impossible " questions or at least they seemed to have been impossible to me.
Why Kaplan is not enough ? I'm going to use kaplan video lectures, the book for step 2 for such a discipline as well as BRS for Step 1. Do you think it does cover all, will I be sufficient prepared for this ?
I hope you'll pass your exam.
