What should i do to get biostat right on exam?

Any input will be appreciated and also Has anyone noticed the biostat question in Usmle world have some new biostat topics? I mean a little bit different than kaplan or brs should we learn it too?
Is there any interactive website for Biostat?

For Biostats I used the Kaplan notes to get the big picture and then made sure I knew first aid really well for this section. Practice questions are the key to biostats and the more you do the more I think you'll remember for the exam. If Usmle world has it then I would at least understand their reasoning given in their (really good) explanations.

Read my review of the USMLE in the Experiences subsection.

I talked about biostats on the USMLE, and it IS a lot like the questions on UWorld. Not that many calculating problems, but all about th errors in experiments. I actually learned the best doing UWorld, not reading another book.

I would say read kaplan and board review of statistics. That should help you.
