I just finished doing kaplan comlex qbank and thinking of starting another qbank.

I wonder what you guys would do in my situation.
i.e., COMBank or UW or Kaplan USMLE qbank?

I am only taking COMLEX though.
Why the hell is COMSAE way too expensive? I heard they don't give you answers after the exam (COMSAE). Is that true?

No answers but neither does NBME. It does identify "problem areas" though. I think doing the COMSAE was a good thing, espcially after studying a lot for USMLE. I didnt realize how different they were. If you aren't taking the USMLE I wouldnt even do an NBME....I would do both 1a and 1b COMSAEs.

I know it is so expesive for all this! I had to move my COMLEX and it cost 85 bucks on top of all these practice test purchases. Its highway robbery!!!

Good luck!!

depends on how much time u have left
if u can get thru UW definitely by farrr 100% do that.
combank is good just to see wut the comlex is about. u did kaplan for that imo.
UW actually explains the questions quite well and u actually learn from it.
I have both.

Thanks for the input.
Bought combank two days ago. oh, well ...
Still have 2 1/2 week left.


I wonder how many days before the test do you guys stop learning new stuffs (i.e., reading books, watching kaplan videos, etc) and go hard core going over of whatever you read/learnt in the past months.
