Heard COMQUEST is better but I have not taken Level II yet, so I would have to defer to those that have.
Thanks Pistol, any other input???
Heard the same. Ill use both, but Quest closest to exam
Also heard that COMLEX II is even more badly written than I and that UWorld is not as great for COMLEX as it is for USMLE
hi,
i took comlex 2 last summer. i used both quest and combank and i would rec using both banks. the quest style most closely approximates the exam but the OMM on combank was money. there were some OMM questions that I would have gotten wrong w/o combank.
i did the ob/gyn, peds, gi and OMM questions twice (although my exam ended up being light on ob and peds..figures). there was an arse load of OMM and quite a bit of GI on my exam. if i had to do it again, i'd do ALL of the questions twice as you never know what you're gonna get. a friend of mine had hardcore ophthalmology and neuro. another had the usual peds and ob. one thing seems constant: tons of OMM!
i used FA, Savarese, a little bit of Boards and Wards and teensy bit of Secrets. I admit that I skipped some of the chapters in FA. didn't know FA or B+W cold, but I did re-read ob, peds and gi. i passed on the first attempt.
Secrets was helpful for CV.
Good luck guys!
p.s. I really thought that I had failed, so don't freak out if you feel horrible after taking the exam
