UW is the most popular online Qbank available in the market for USMLE
step2 ck.
the question pattern is quite similar to the real exam.
a cumulative score of 60 or more indicates that your preparation is fine.
UW includes educational objectives at the end of each explanation which gives you the gist and is good for quick reviews....it`ll also tell you your percentage comparative accuracy for each question.
the total number of blocks is 46....each blocks consists of 46 questions.
the subscription fees are as follows :
30 days - 90$
60 days -125$
90 days -175$

Thanks a lot tinkerbell u r life saver..
I guess u could help me in one more matter about the match.. i m applying to this years match. and have trouble preparing the LoR..
There is one Coversheet which i have to attach, do u think that coversheet is all that important.. it identifies me and Waives my right to view the LoR written by any professor..
What do u think...
Plus is there nay special format for LoR.. If yes can u explain me one. Thanks a lot.

regarding LORs

Probably best to approach physicians with whom you have had the most contact, so that they too,have been able to observe you and your work habits, etc. Then, ask for a brief meeting so you can briefly explain that you will be applying for residency, are now studying for the USMLE
, and would appreciate a letter from them. LORs should be on official stationary of the institution, dated, and addressed Dear Program Director (no names). Then, body of letter should comment on job skills, attitude, work habits, ability to communicate well with staff, patients, etc. Hope this helps.

including your fellowship plans is considered to be dicey...while some programs like the applicants to be frank about their future plans , it may discourage some other programs to invite you....especially if they dont have the said fellwships.
the site is ok i heard....doesnt guarantee a match...but someone who enrolled for their services suggested that it saves you the trouble for scouting around and looking for good programs...also you dont end up spending your money on worthless programs.....in a nut-shell, sites like these are said to save time and money.
im not sure though , if they are worth the moolah you spent on them
