I'm currently doing combank and uworld. I also recently bought comquest, but haven't started yet. I plan on finishing combank, but I don't think I will be able to finish both uworld and comquest as my exam is in two weeks. Just wondering if the recommendation would be to finish comquest or uworld before the exam?

I say comquest if you are taking the comlex. I think its worth your while to see more comlex specific questions styles. Plus with 2 weeks left you can easily finish the comquest question bank.
 
UW may be the better quality qbank overall, and one which you will learn the most from, but that being said, I'd go with Comquest if you're just taking the Comlex. The Comlex has its own little quirks, question style, and favorites subjects and topics. Therefore I think it is best to use a qbank that trys to approximate that.

Alternatively, given that Comquest can be completed fairly quickly, I don't think it would be a bad idea to do Comquest and also use UW for the high yield subjects that the Comlex likes.

If you choose not to use Comquest, at least consider using the OMM and other high yield sections.
 
For COMLEX Level II: Combank > Comquest > UWorld. Seriously. There was not much pure IM on my COMLEX Level II, which is definitely NOT the case for Step 2 CK USMLE, or so I've heard. Unfortunately the tests do test different things, and you have to switch gears if taking both. The question styles are very different.
 
Mostly UWorld. Make sure to finish COMQUEST OMM and Legal/Ethics and Biostats. Those were all really helpful for me at least.
