I'm sure this has been addressed many times before on this site, but just a simple question for those of you have have been through the process. I have used both kaplan and uworld throughout 3rd year. In the final weeks before CK, which qBank should I re-do/spend more time with?

thanks for the input!

UWorld all the way!

absolutely no question uworld

plenty of people have said they used ONLY uworld and did very well

Close to your exam, U world. But it's good to also use Kaplan to prepare earlier on. Kaplan's explanation are not as good, questions sometimes confusing even controversial but I think Kaplan requests more in depth details from you than U world does so there's absolutely something to learn from kaplan.

My point is if u already used both before, you are close to test date and you have a choice, go for a u world rerun, not Kaplan. Plus Uworld interface is closer to real exam interface.

Thought Kaplan provided decent study material (books,videos) but UWorld >>> for questions

Master every question in uWorld. even if you averaged 80% correct your first time through (regression plots this as 270), this means you missed 1/5th of the content. Imagine what else you could pick up?

I also used Kaplan and the only thing Kaplan is good for is to prepare you for some low yields as well as the eye strain of reading walls of text
