Step 2 OB/Gyn: Uworld vs. Uwise?

Can anyone comment on which is better? I did Uworld for the OB shelf and thought the UWorld questions were much too easy. Is UWise more for the shelf than step 2?

I think conceptually uwise definitely gets you there. But obgyn wasn't that heavily represented on the exam so if you're tight for time I wouldn't pour hours into it

Everyone's form is different though, so it's not accurate to say obgyn isn't heavily represented. The person sitting next to you could have had a lot.

I only did the ten-question UWise sampler before my 2CK. I loved it, but didn't have time for the actual QBank. And quite honestly, obgyn wasn't my best subject going in, so I probably would have benefitted from the boost had I had time. I have my obgyn rotation coming up, and I'll definitely be investing in UWise during it.

Thanks! After thinking about it, I think I'm just going to hit U-wise. I just had OB and was averaging high 80's to low 90's on u-world. I did the whole set of u-world OB like 3-4 weeks ago, so hitting U-wise would probably be more high-yield for me.

UWise is great for the shelf but doing it during your step 2 review time is overkill unless you have serious deficiencies IMO. If you're doing that well in Uworld you are going to nail most of the questions that you would see on the boards.
