Should I order a new question bank?

Exam July 2

I did UWorld throughout the school year but I felt I did a very patchy job utilizing it my first semester (perhaps did not get much out of it o0r did not retain much). The latter half of my 2nd semester, I really kicked it to over drive and used it for the relevant subjects we were studying in class as well as 2-3 systems path I went over again when i had 'free' time.

I ended the semester with about 70% of the bank finished and decided to reset it so I could do systems based while starting hardcore board studying and start fresh.

I am now at 50% and have marked all the questions I have been getting wrong as well as ones that I feel stress significant points. Am averaging 70-85% right now per block but this is systems based. Have recently started doing mixed blocks.

I feel like I will be done with the bank in about 1-2 weeks.

This leaves me with 2 weeks to go over marked UWorld questions. Should I also order a new Qbank and utilize it with marked questions on Uworld?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I would get a new Question Bank. Better to do fresh questions than old. I have been enjoying Exammaster. My school has a subscription and I feel like it really goes into a lot of detail. Check it out!

the gold standard is kaplan qbank and uworld, with uworld being #1 and kaplan being #2. usmlerx and elsevier step 1 qbank are a distant third

I would just stick with UWORLD and maybe supplement with Kaplan only in the areas you feel weak in.

I have done a few uworld questions and I do like it quite a bit. I haven't heard of the others though.

Hey guys, can we get more feedback on exammaster? Is this better than Rx as a 3rd qbank?

Its junk. I used to like it. But after doing a couple NBMEs - its nothing like them.
