Got about 1 month left, should I do it over again, or is my time better spent doing other sources (like rapid review, blue prints, pre-test vignettes, IV Qbank). Opinions please, thanks in advance. I know big frank did qbank at least twice.

I would i think its cool to do lots of questions and some small amounts of reading,I have done it 4 times so far.(i started in march )....ill probabley do it 2 more times to make sure i get every question correctly and then I am probably going to some other sources like princetonreview or iv qbank stuff like that i also got 5weeks left so will see...good luck..
 
do it over. read ALL the answer explanations (both correct and incorrect). the vast majority of the answer choices on step 1 you will have seen on q-bank. if you know why the are or are not correct, your life will be easy.

do it as many times as you can, til in your sleep you know why each is right or wrong...

I would suggest do it again and read the all the explanations like suggested....................you seem up on your stuff Long but before the questions I would make sure I knew FA COLD......................and I think big frank did only the ones he got wrong again.....lol...........its funny how he is the gold standard here.

That would make 6 times total. 😱

I have 3 weeks to go b4 the exam and just finished Qbank. My plan from here on out is to review and do at least 2 sets of random 50s of Qbank of all items again per day. I probably wont finish it a 2nd time but hopefully come close. I've heard to try and do it (and understand the answers of course) as many times as possible

This just in!

Qbank is not written by the NBME.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
