Most people don't repeat it. Going through once is an arduous task, and I commend you!
I feel like asking though, won't you recognize many of the questions (having already seen them) and get them right just because you've had that exact question? It seems like in that case UW wouldn't be a very good learning tool, and certainly not worth $100.
I am using World more as a learning tool. What i will do for my second run through is try to understand why every question is right and why the other options are wrong. I'll try it out and see if its helping me, if its not I might buy another qbank.
The problem is, I personally dont like the kaplan qbank. i've tried doing kaplans questions and I havent learned much from them.

i did world twice, i bought an extra month to clear my percentages(i only had a 3mo sub, if you have the 6 mo you can reset it for free). I would do world all the way through again..the questions on the real thing were very much like the world questions. I did 2-3 blocks of 48 a day, didnt take me too long to get through it. I think if your getting 85%+ 2nd time through your on your way to a good score ..hope that helps.....
I guess you have to be honest with yourself and see if you get the questions right because you remember the answers or because you understand.
good point cliff....how i did it, i tried not to look at the ans choices and came up with a differential, then tried to explain to myself why the wrong ones were wrong. But, there are times when you just remember the ans...haha...good luck ...oh lastly, i took about a week off before i started it again...
The reset depends if you have a 6 month/1 year subscription or something less. I had the 1 year, and got 1 free reset. I'm right now half way thru my second pass through UW. UW is without a doubt one of the single best board preps there is IMO, reason being UW is active learning, not passive. First pass I used UW completely as a learning tool. Roughly 700 questions were done months ago, and I did about 1300 in my first week of step 1 prep. And now I'm doing 2 blocks a day. Ironically, the questions I did months ago alongside my courses I have a vague, if any recall of, so it's almost like taking it for the first time again. My first pass I averaged 53% I believe which was fine, since I was purely using it as a learning tool, not as an assessment. And now on my 2nd pass I'm still using it as a learning tool, the % being up in the 80s is just good for the psychie but that's about it 😛
