I have not tried their practice exams (which I have heard are not as good). I would not use it for score prediction, but solely for learning. I wish I had done Kaplan earlier in my study period, just on the side (I had >1500 questions left by the time I took step2ck). There are some questions (probably 2-3) questions that test minutia and are unlikely to be on the exam, but they are very easy to tell which ones they are. Many of the concepts in Uworld are repeated in Kaplan (which is good for repetition), but many of the diseases are also nowhere in Uworld (but I would still consider completely fair game for the exam). Again, I have to emphasize that UWorld is still key, and going through UWorld once probably helped me in reading Kaplan's explanations (they were usually longer than UWorld's but still easily understandable especially with boldening of key terms and concepts). Most (>95%) of their explanations were very thorough and easily understandable and are comparable to those of UWorlds. I was actually very surprised by how great the Kaplan Qbank was. I finished UWorld about a week before my exam and so decided to go through as many Kaplan questions as I can, just so I can recognize some terms or concepts that might not be in Uworld. I completed the Kaplan questions for those sections (obgyn and neuro), but didn't really have time to do the other sections. I purchased Kaplan during the beginning of third year because some topics in UWorld doesn't have that many questions. That aside, though, I would highly recommend Kaplan Qbank for Step 2ck.
