The home study books are a great resource. Because the Qbank allows you to select the organ system (or subject) composition of each practice test, you can begin using it once you finish an area. Then, as you move forward, begin also taking occassional mixed subject, timed, tests that are a mix...

While it is probably the case that many 2nd year students wait until the spring to begin any prep for Step 1, lots who begin making time to do some reviewing earlier in the year really do well and tend not to feel as rushed after classes end. If you do plan on beginning early, then think how...

Sorry it took me a while to find out about what you asked. Plans to add page reference for Step 1 are in the works and shoudl be launched sometime in the fall. At the present, adding these to Step 2CK is under consideration but nothing definite.

Here are the unique features that make Qbank the best: Item rekaps that concisely present the key aspects related to each item Explanations that fully explain each choice, not just the correct answer Feedback that pinpoints weak areas, by subject and organ system but also other aspects like...

If you know your statistics, then you understand that correlation does not mean equivalency. In other words, two measures can be highly correlated even though scores on one are consistently lower or higher than scores on the other. This is the case with our Qbank. The pool may be a bit harder...

Yes there is good correlation, providing that you use it properly so that you take tests under similar conditions to what you will encounter on test day (timed mode, fresh questions, mixing questions across subjects and organ systems). In fact, Qbank has a score estimator built right in, so...

You can purchase Qbank for: 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months. Extensions of 1 week, 2 weeks, 1, 2 and 3 months are also available.

Qbank can be purchased for 1 month ($109); 2 months ($149); 3 months ($189); or longer intervals such as 6 or 12 months. Extension prices are: 1 week ($35); 2 weeks ($50); 1 month ($70), etc. so you can extend to suit any additional prep time if you adjust your exam date.

Yes, the Step 2CK Qbank was just revised and relaunched, so you can be sure that it is current with the changes to the USMLE exam.

I'm not sure what you mean by "difficulty" format, but Qbank does show you how others have done on the item, so you can tell if it's a tough one that many folks missed, or easier in that most got it right. Hope this answers your question.
