Question about UWorld!

For those who have it, do you recommend getting the self-assessment w/ the QBank?

I currently have Kaplan QBank. My school will also provide us with one diagnostic NBME. With this in mind, do I need the extra self-assessment w/ UWorld?

Thanks!

I have Kaplan and Uworld and the 2 UW assessments + my school also gave us an NBME .... according to the majority of students, UWorld is money and Kaplan a second best. The assessments are good, but again according to the majority they overestimate a bit.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

I was just wondering... on the website, it says each of the 2 forms are available for only 2 weeks. Are they referring to 2 weeks after you start working on the assessment? Are the assessments equivalent to 1 full length test?

It's 2 week only after activation. So you can buy it and keep it dormant until you need it. Same with the question bank.

They are not full length... from what I have heard there are 4 blocks of 50questions, so 200 Q's total, exactly like the NBME test the school will/has provided to you.

I've heard a few people say that the UWorld assessments overestimate scores a bit. I don't know if that's true.
