question length on CK

Members don't see this ad.

so this have probably been discussed before, but i don't seem to find anything recent...
i just started doing usmleworld questions and the stems appear to be of pretty reasonable length so far (only did about 10%)... is this representative for the real test? i'm only asking because i've read many comments from people who have struggled with time and said question length was ridiculous on the actual exam. ok, i'm rambling now. thanks for help!

I felt that many of the question stems on CK were longer than in uworld.

Much much longer....... For example, I got last five questions on my 1st block with question stem occupying the whole page.
I already posted one example of that in here

oh crap, that does not sound good at all! but thanks for letting me know - at least i know what to expect.

many of the u-world questions are two-liners (at least on the ipad-view) and i was getting all excited about having all that extra time to actually THINK about the answer instead of deciphering relevant info from the stem.

There is no time to think in the real test.

Good, my brain hurts when I think.

Step 1 went by so fast. Felt like intuition was more important than knowledge.

Its probably why the Qbank "blitz" method seems to work with CK. Force feed everything from UW into your rapid recall. Don't know why its right, just know its right and move on.
