Hi and cheers to all IMGs working hard for making a better tomorrow. Do any of you guys have a feedback on the correlation between the Kaplan tests and the score that you obtain in the USMLE for step one?
Cheers to all,

Kaplan to exam: add about 15 to 20 points. But in my experience it was more like add 5 points de correlate to the 2 digit score. Hope it helps.

I passed a couple of months ago and I had about 88 - 91 on Kaplan Q Book and Q Bank but on the exam I got a 79! I was told it happens. But the key is to be above the 75% on practice exams to be sure you pass.

kaplan q-bank is worthless and usmle had read the kaplan hands, I did 1000 question from kaplan and was getting 60-70 % but at the exam all of questions were much longer , much more difficult and much more trickier than q-bank. I took my exam last week.
