Is COMBANK worth it if you want a quick review?

I think I have developed an aversion to reading at this stage. I just get fatigued when I go through COMQUESt and uworld explanations after doing a block, I just give up and say I'll do it later and do some DIT videos. Then later never really happens. I have 4 sets from 2 weeks ago, that I have not reviewed.

I think I'm developing a certain set of hesitance and avoidance to reading at this stage. I just want a sweet and short answer. It seems that COMBANK has this. I don't mind shelling out $90 books for it. But is it going to be sufficient for the newer COMLEXES? I mean content wise?

I know the style of Usmle and COmquest by now, I feel like I just want a spark notes version of the explanations if that makes sense.

Thanks for any input.

Why don't you just read the Take Home Message at the bottom? Seems like that's a better idea than shelling out $90

Sorry for the delayed response. I totally forgot to check been swamped lately.

I am trying to do that. I think what is getting to me with this is honestly fatigue. I feel like I am missing questions because I do not know the concept well enough at times and I feel like I am just reading those long explanations.

I don't know if I should stop doing questions temporarily and just wrap up DIT and then resume. With that, I would risk not completing Uworld or Comquest before my exam.

COMBANK is better for doing more questions in a smaller amount of time because of the shorter explanations. I would advise doing as many COMLEX-specific questions as possible.

Ah, I see nice. Perhaps I shall purchase it and duke it out for 3-4 days. You think that should be sufficient time for a quick cram? It's 2,000 questions?

I think I have a tendency to just want to overthink questiosn and explanations. But with the limited time I have left and the fact that I will not proceed to MS3 if I do not pass, I think I just have to suck it up and memorize.

is it kind of like a flaschard type of bank? in any event tiny drop in the bucket compared to all I have shelled out and I'm really desparate at this stage.

No. The explanations are just shorter and easier to mull through than COMQUEST. Focus on your weakest point, but start taking all-inclusive tests a week or two out from your exam.
