hey I'm using kaplan qbank for the next month. I did UW did most, couldn't finish it all and didnt wanna keep extending it. But whatever. I did UW subject wise, tutor mode, so not completly random and what not.
Came out with a final avg of 59% overall. In the 100 questions I've done thus far in kaplan I'm at 68%.
I've noticed that kaplan does seem easier. More hints, more clues in the question stem. The answers aren't as deceving as UW. UW I would sometimes have issues between 2 or 3 answers and would have no clue at that point even though I know what is being asked of me and what answer I feel like I should put down. A few times it was because I didn't know another name for the same disease process or something like that.
Kaplan isn't like that. When I miss a question its because of a judgement issue or just plain lack of knowledge.
Personally, I would think UW is better from my limited exeperience but its really a minute point. As long as you get the questions done, the questions challenge you and make you think about what the pt is going through, etc. and you read the answers and learn from it any qbank will be good for you.
I think sometimes its also a money issue when people suggest UW vs qbank. Its $150 for 1 month of qbank and $190 for 3 months UW.
I wouldn't regret going for qbank if thats what you are asking. And qbank now has a lot more questions written by Dr Fischer in there now.
