One of the most frequent questions that people would ask me is:
"What is the quality of Kaplan USMLE Videos on DVD?"
Well, I guess the best way to know it is to download the samples and then make your judgment. These Kaplan Videos are compressed using DIVX codec - special software that allows you to place full 2-hour movie onto the 700 MB CD-ROM.
This means that you need to download DIVX player to be able to watch the movie. Otherwise, all you will see will the the voice of the stranger form your computer.
To be able to see that stranger you need to install DIVX player.
OK, so if you want to download USMLE Kaplan Video samples - please go here:

Canadian Medical Licensure Exams (MCCEE, MCCQE Part I and MCCQE part II) - and how they match USMLE Exams
The main types of exam formats encountered in Canada include:
Very similar ot USMLE Step 1 Exam - therefore most of USMLE Step 1 materials can be easily used for MCCEE preparation.
Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination Part I
Very similar ot USMLE Step 2 Exam - therefore most of USMLE Step 2 materials can be easily used for MCCQE I preparation.
Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination Part II
Very similar to USMLE Step 2 CS exam - and therefore Step 2 CS (CSA) study materials can be used for MCCQE II
Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Examination (MCCEE)Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ)
Clinical Reasoning Skills Questions (CRS)

My thoughts about Kaplan USMLE Videos
I have some experience with Kaplan USMLE Videos - that I want to share with my readership.
Kaplan Videos are great resourse for any USMLE taker - but they also have their drawbacks. There is no such thing as a silver bullet - so if you think that once you get Kaplan USMLE Videos, you will automatically pass Step 1 -that is not true.
Interesting fact I read recently - only 10% of people who bought the book in a bookstore had the chance to actually read it from beginning to end. This might be too low value for someone who studies USMLE - but the fact is the fact.
So, if you are just collecting a library of USMLE materials - and piling up Kaplan USMLE Videos, Goljan Audio on Pathology, Kaplan Webprep, Pass Program from Dr. Francis and thousands of remembered questions from past years - you might be scoring as high as a guy across the road who is just reading several books.
The point is - make a plan, make sure it is a logical one, stick with it and review your strengths and weaknesses on a regular basis. Once you know what is your weak area - dive into it using as many materials as possible - be it Kaplan, Goljan, Pass Program os something else.
Good luck!

Why people end up buying USMLE stuff from USMLESTEP.com
Hello,
I want to tell you several things about http://www.usmlestep.com andour usmle materials. You often see a lot of USMLE materials offered on the web,in yahoo discussion groups, forums, ebay and similar places.
One good thing about them is that they are damn cheap - $10, $20 or$40. This is great price and sometimes you are feeling like you mustgo ahead and buy a USMLE package - all included for just $50 or so.
Ok, ok.
3 months later you find out that the disk you received is broken.No matter if it was broken during the shipment or your child (or yoursweet niece or nephew) make a large scratch on its surface.
What are you going to do now? Send an email to XXX@yahoo.com orXXX@hotmail.com or XXX@gmail.com kindly asking for a replacement disk?
90 chances out of 100 that email is not used by that time - and noone is able to help you with replacement disk.
Another consideration - when you are buying aall-in-one-super-collection-to-ace-USMLE - make sure that you reallyneed all the stuff listed there.
I recently looked through the list ofall affixes and suffixes used in medicine offered as a free bonus tothe package. Come on! Do you really think that this information will improve yourUSMLE score???
I am sure you are asking yourself - why would I buy fromhttp://www.usmlestep.com
1. We are here for several years and plan to be here for next severalyears (fingers crossed)
2. We have several thousand satisfied customers (and several dozenpeople who hate us and send meaningless offences about http://www.usmlestep.com in various forums)
3. We offer quality materials and have unconditional 6-monthreplacement warranty. No matter if the disk was scratched by your child, you spilled a coffee or just lost it in transit when you weremoving houses. We will replace your disk at no cost.
We have EVERY major USMLE study material you ever need for USMLE Step1/2/3. We also have many other materials for ABIM boards and even more- ask if you need something that is not listed on our site:
http://www.usmlestep.com
Do not forget - all the materials comes with unconditional 6-month warranty. Any problem is on us - we will ship you replacement and willnot ask questions.

Tips for selecting Study materials for USMLE
1. Determine whether you are visual or audial learner. Visual learners get more from using video materials (tapes, DVD, VCD), whereas audial learners would prefer audiocassettes or audio CD or MP3 CD.
2. You might be better off with just reading notes and memorizing them. Then consider various mnemonics techniques - they are often very helpful to memorize complex chunkis of information.
3. Ask your colleagues and friends how did they obtained study materials. Do not be afraid to aks as many people as possible.
4. Review your strenghts and weaknesses. If you are weak on Pathology - make sure that you have a good study resource on Pathology - Goljan might be good example.
5. Start looking at various USMLE forums (www.4usmle.net or www.usmle.net or www.valuemd.com ) and do not hesitate to ask people out there.
6. Join as many Yahoo Groups on USMLE as possible as listen to the messages.
There is a lot of groups for Step 1 ,Step 2 and Step 3
7. There is a lot of free downloads available on the internet - check the downloads section of large USMLE forums - www.4usmle.net or www.usmle.net or www.valuemd.com
8. Look through various suggestions on-line - there is a lot of usefulo information at USMLE wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USMLE
