Redoing Uworld v. another qbank

[usmlesuccess]

I am thinking of redoing all the questions in uworld or getting another question bank. Which do you recommend? What other question bank is best?

Give yourself at least 2 weeks, expect a solid 8-10 hours per day spent on UWorld if you want to finish it in 2 weeks.

I did 2nd pass in 10 days, that is about 200 questions or 5 blocks a day, after finishing it I got sick of UWorld... Nonetheless IMO UWorld 2nd pass is more efficient than any other Qbank in helping you make those critical conceptual connections & focus on HY stuff

Why not do all your incorrect ones, then all your marked ones, and then all the easy ones that you probably don't need to see again if there's time?

That, or just do your weak subjects.

Another 2000 questions would be miserable.

I would just do your incorrects and maybe your marked Qs. If you have extra time, I'd consider Kaplan.

does anyone recommend to get kaplan instead?

I am taking the COMLEX. And instead of redoing COMBANK... I bought another Qbank...because I find myself to work harder with questions I haven't done then trying to redo my wrong ones. That is just me. Plus the easy ones I remember the answer so I don't think through the question when I am redoing it.

I'm redoing everything I marked on UWorld which was anything I missed or wasn't completely sure of when choosing an answer.

As far as other qbanks, my school also provided us with Kaplan. I'm just using it to drill Micro and Pharm which I think help the most to see lots of questions and clinical scenarios

No offense to anyone, but I strongly believe that doing UW more than once is a worthless waste of time. If you did it thoroughly the first time, read the explanations, and annotated FA properly you shouldn't need to do it again (maybe your incorrects or marked Q's, but nothing beyond that). I have never heard of people doing it more than once until I came on SDN. I think people on here do it for the sake of doing it and because everyone else on here does it. Your time is better spent seeing more questions with another qbank. Just my opinion though.

Well, my reasoning for redoing Uworld is that seeing the questions more than once in addition to scanning over the explanations will surely prevent you from making those mistakes in the future. If you know everything in Uworld very well and you supplement that with first aid, there's no reason why you should not get at least a 240. Other question banks will just be slightly different from Uworld with worse explanations. that's just my 0.02
