I would do as many qbanks as possible. The way I would prioritise them UW > all NBMEs > Rx > Kaplan. There's pastest, medbullets and loxolab, which are free but I didn't use them so can't comment. Lecturio's questions aren't worth it.

So i agree with your comment in the most part, however, why is lecturios Qbank not worth it? I have been using it and found it to be helpful...

also, loxolab is awesome

I tried their free questions and their explanations were so so, worse than the big 3. The dealbreaker for me they were still using DSM 4 for psych.

As for the explanations, to each his own, I personally feel a lot of progress with them.

As for the DSM 4 i'm going to email them about that, to see what's up with that.

I wouldn't worry about the retired NBMEs, but I would do all the ones that are available. In my experience, closely reviewing all the NBMEs is very good use of time.

Can I ask what you mean by this? What I do is find out the answers to the ones I get wrong, and figure out my mistakes. Are you suggesting something beyond this?
