Ok, I've got time to do 2 question banks in preparation for step 2. I'd be stretching one of them over my last 3rd year rotation and the other over 6-8 weeks of prep time. So my question is this... Should I do USMLEWorld twice or Kaplan x1 and USMLE World x1?

USMLE World worth going through twice or is it redundant by that point?

Thanks.
 
My opinion is that questions lose a lot of value when they are repeated. If cost is no object, I'd use both banks.

However, for most people a single go-through of UW is more than sufficient for an excellent score.

How did you do on your shelf exams and step 1? If you prospered, then I would agree with Jeebus here a single UW tour should suffice.
