Ran out of Qbanks to do

So my test is in 1 and a half months, and I've completed one run of Kaplan, USMLERx, UWorld, and Becker Qbanks in that order. I've done 5 NBMEs, with only 2 left that I haven't done, and plan to split them up until my test.

I've always been a firm believer in always exposing myself to new questions as much as possible. I've done most of the wrong questions in UWorld (200 left), Rx has about 500 wrong Qs left, and I haven't touched the Becker wrong Qs. Kaplan Qbanksubscription is finished.

I was planning on going for USMLE Consult after Becker and that'd be my last Qbank until the exam, but for some reason their Qbankis not for sale anymore. Are there any other decent Qbanks that are well-known and known to be useful for the exam? I really would rather not go through UWorld 2-3x as many people suggest, as I feel like new questions are much more fresh and fun to do, instead of just memorizing previous wrong answers.

Any ideas? Thank you.

Another thing that crossed my mind was maybe buying Goljan's Rapid Review pathology book just for the practice questions that come with it. Maybe I'll do something like 10 questions of it a day until the day of the exam, but that'll only help my pathology, and nothing else.

USMLEWeapon is relatively new, I liked it.

Is that the same as TrueLearn? The website looks promising but there are barely any reviews on it.

You may be able to try BoardVitals. Could be hit or miss.

Have you tried BoardVitals? I was looking into that one, TrueLearn, and now USMLE Weapon. Consult is no longer available for purchase for some reason. I'm so afraid to get a bad Qbank this close to the exam. Whatever Qbank I end up doing, I can't trust it 100% so I do plan to do at least 1 block of previous wrong questions from Rx and UWorld along with 1 block of whatever new Qbank I get, daily

Yeah, same thing. You won't find reviews of it online, it's very underground. I went through the entire bank, it was worth it, just my opinion as 1 student though. It's one of the extra banks recommended to us after World. It has a feature called "test your weaknesses" which is unique to it, and it has exam tips at the bottom of some questions on how to approach a certain question. It also has a pure 1st run per percentage you can compare yourself against your peers vs. the weighted % on World that we are always trying to compare.

What did you think of the Becker Qbank? Like TrueLearn, there aren't too many reviews on it that I can find.

It was good. Like Rx with short explanations but harder.

Alright. I think I'll try it then. Maybe do 1 block of TrueLearn and 1 block of Rx/UWorld daily.

How are you scoring on your NBMEs ? If you are hitting your target then it is better for you to stick to just FA and UWORLD. Just my opinion.

What target score are you trying to achieve ? Just asking to keep things in perspective.

 

[Shark7500]

If you've done that many questions, don't you think you're ready to just take the exam? What are your scores like?

It's good to do as many qbanks as possible but the idea behind it is to know ur weakness and to improve upon those.
There's no point in doing qbanks(uworld) with incorrects and not reviewing them.
Be thorough with uworld and fa your scores will pick up.
