Ok, I have been using Kaplanqbanks so far to study for COMLEX2. But people have been telling me USMLEworld is better and harder. Which one is better? Is Kaplan too easy? I havent thought that considering Im still only scoring in 50s. Any and all advice are needed!
 
I used them both....but in the end I thought that World was better because it was much similar to the real experience. I didn't hate Qbank.....and actually did a good chunk of it......if you have time...do both..the more questions the better....but if time is a factor....stick to World.....but that's just my opinion....
 
I lied QBank, as I thought the questions were more polished overall and had longer stems, thus making them more similar to actual USMLE Qs than the Qs on UW. UW was harder than QB, but I preferred QB overall. More people like UW than QB, at least on this site.
 
So, if you had to choose one question bank and that was it, what would it be?

btw, I was using my Kaplan Qbank and had 2-3 questionable questions that were(I thought) answered incorrectly. I looked them up and they were either questions with to right answer choices or they were wrong.

The question is, if I use Kaplan qbank will I do as well on this exam as I would if I used USMLE world? Or would I do better?

Thanks for the help, stressful time of the year fro all of us I know.
 
Ok, so I broke down and got USMLE world. If I cant decide, I'll just do both(I just wont sleep). USMLE world is harder, I can tell, my scores are 10% lower, which is scary. Kaplan has longer questions and I run out of time easier with them. I guess the real question now is will either of these banks help on the mine field that is the COMLEX 2? If they don't something is seriously wrong.
