Posted by enrico | Under Medical School Saturday Jun 9, 2007I’m exhausted. I had an 8-hour simulation Step 1 Exam today, my last hurrah with Kaplan. (well, I was really done in less time than that, but that’s because there was a little too much “hell if I know”-type responses.)
So, I have LOTS to say, and a little breathing room in which to say it, but first I must sleep. Precious sleep. More tomorrow after a REM recharge. 
Am looking forward to what you have to say about the Exam. I am dreading Step 1, even though i’m not taking it till summer ‘08, and I haven’t even started studying yet!
Don’t worry! Kaplan is WAY HARDER than the real test. I don’t think I ever got better than 40% on it, but did fine on the real thing. Suerte!
Just wondering….I was talking with some students about the usmle. Some said that when they took it in Mexico (guad, mexico city) that their Usmle contained a lot of behavioral science or straight forward questions. Not fair! When I took mine in the USA, it was HELL!!! These students passed with good percentages. Does anyone think that they make the USMLE a tad bit easier for testing centers in lets say Mexico, or foreign countries a tad bit easier or is it just luck?
