Can someone please tell me which is more comparable to step 1-- IV Qbank vs. Qbank, or which is better to study with for that matter. I realize they are different formats, however I think they are basically testing the same information. thanks 👍 Im confused because most people say reach for at least a 65% in QBank to comfortably pass....Which Qbank??

they are referring to Qbank. I did IV and the regular and both have their pros/cons with regular qbank being better. IF you have time, then do them...otherwise it's not necessary.
 
I would agree with BigFrank, Qbank is the better of the two. Make sure you understand all of the answer choices and why it's incorrect or correct. Use it as a learning tool as well. Don't be discouraged by the difficulty of the Qbank either. There are some days where I scored only 40% of the questions right and other days where I scored 90% of the questions right. Just use it as a learning tool to prepare you for the style of questions seen on USMLE and understand the answer choices.
