Hi, congratulation. What is the score aove which its 99percentile, like it was approximately 236 in step1
_______________
I am not sure, keep in mind that there are 8 blocks in Step 2 and only 7 blocks in Step 1.
I searched before and found that someone claimed to get 99/227 or something like this....i don't remember exactly, but i thought it was way more different then Step 1 scoring.

i think UW + Kaplan + FA slides should be enough for exam.
make sure to remember pathophisiology of Pemphigus vulgaris versus Bullos pemphigoid and histological VERBAL description of basal and squamous cell ca.

- I used Kaplan Q-bank , but it only helped me to learn Kaplan notes well, i still felt that i needed to do UW-bank for 2-3 months. Do some reading and then pratcie Q from Kaplan Q-book, they are not hard, but is a good start.; then try UW bank or Kaplan if you have time.
About 3-2 months before exam do online NMBE form to assess your performance and time management. Then study "weak" subjects again, take another form online to see how you progress. Leave yourself enough time before exam to recover your confidence and review material if your NMBE score is not as high as you expected!
"Secrets" book is good for review after you are done with notes. I did not have time to read it.

- it depends what score you are aiming to receive on exam...and it's hard to predict. Real exam might be much easier for you then UW questions....you never know, you may get 99 if you don't stop practicing and reviewing important subjects.
