Thanks God! 252/99

Took exam on Feb/16, OASIS updated last Wednesday, received score today and scored 99/252. I used only kaplan notes(original 2003 edition), Usmle board and words ,
Crush the step2, Qbook in 72% , Qbank 73%), USMLEWORLD 69%, did
the NBME form 630, 670. UW is a little bit tricky, Kaplan Q bank is a little bit easy. I think the real exam is between them. I have Kaplan Step 2 notes whole set for sale, with free first aid step 2. Please email me at usmle74@hotmail.com for more information. Thanks and good luck!

I think that most of those with high scores don't lie, however they more want to amaze others who didn’t take exam (or have failed), than to listen & help them. Why do I think so? Coz most of them sound so sure in their advices & never even think that their experience is just one experience, so it can’t be representative.
On the other hand there’s the other group of people who feel so disappointed coz they didn't get such a high score so they think their opinion isn’t worthy & they don’t even post it.
Without a doubt these exams aren’t easy, but they aren’t also a rocket science. Don’t expect when you read someone’s experience that you will find out some secret how to pass any of these exam w/o hard studying. There’s no shortcuts for it, although as with anything else in real life, there are people who have more luck than others & get such exam for which the FA or Crush + just one source of Qbank is enough to pass it, but they are also those one who get exam for which the same sources were insufficient.
No one can tell you what kind of exam you will get!
