Kaplan Medical Classic

This iOS application is much better than the previous version, I am impressed by the upgrades. It can be displayed horizontally or vertically. You can open the app with another app side by side. This is helpful for reviewing questions because you can open additional content for notes or explanations outside of the app. It also has the calculator feature, which is not present on the web version of the Kaplan Qbank. You also have the ability to highlight and cross out answer choices with the touch screen. I have not encountered any glitches or problems. I recommend using this app for a great use of your iPad and/or iPhone to complete questions in any location.

This app is super user-friendly! It offers a a great simulation of Kaplan’s computer-based testing and tutoring materials for Step 1. You can easily customize your tests by subject, timing and tutor mode. I was impressed by the ease of reading each question on my relatively small phone screen. The explanations include embedded links to videos, which are very useful, and I have not experienced any glitches in loading answers or media. My favorite part of the app is the auto-pause function. If you need to set your phone down or if your screen locks for any reason, your test automatic all pauses and resumes when you reopen the app. This will be great to use on the go.

I have only used this once so far for step 1 but I think the way they've designed the app is amazing. LOVE the way it tells you of you changed answers from wrong to right. They give you both short AND detailed answer explanations and I especially love the "strategy" section of the review where it tells you how you should be approaching the questions. It also breaks down your strengths and weaknesses by organ system and discipline and gives you little graphs to see the information visually. It's very easy and intuitive to navigate and gives you the opportunity to practice your questions on the go. Love this app!! So glad I downloaded it - will definitely be using it frequently
