However, with lengthy videos, no integrated flashcards, and poor resource linking, we are hesitant to recommend Kaplan as an effective USMLE study resource. With a package of resources including lecture content and an updated state-of-the-art question bank to test that knowledge, Kaplan’s overall lecture quality (not to be confused with video quality) is strong and has a good variety of clinical instructors contributing to updated material in each respective discipline.
