Hey Guys,
Before I get bombarded with a ton of resources, I think the biggest hurdles for qbanks to realize is the limited time over 2nd year and the idea of good vs. bad Qbanks. With that in mind, I was curious about which QBanks I should hit up and questions in general to do.
(1) (Non-QBank books) I think I might be an idiot for considering the value of this, but would it be a BAD idea to do the questions from the Kaplan lecture notes, the kaplan QBook, BRS Chung Anatomy, the Michigan website problems, etc...?
(2) I think there's a lot of tradeoff between which Qbanks to use, which subjects they're the best on, which mimic the test, etc...First off, I will definitely use UWorld. Next, I was thinking about using Gunner Training, Kaplan (I hear its good in physio, pharm, and behavioral science), or UsmleRx...not sure if I should do more Qbanks or less and repeat them.
Then, there's the full length NBMEs (which ones are the best to do and when should you do them...I'm guessing to do these dedicated study time?)
Personally, I am already using Gunner Training and plan on doing so for classes over the course of the year (everything except for Path- might just do Pathoma and RR Goljan w/audio + Robbins Q and A problems...so that's already a big commitment along with GT) but what about QBanks...should I save UWorld for dedicated time and do another QBank (Kaplan, Rx, or GT?) over the year, start UWorld early so I can do it twice?
Thanks.
