or should I just stick with step 2 q banks?

I found MKSAP Qs too easy. Whatever UW costs now is still worth it to secure a high score in likely the most important exam you will ever take.

I will already be doing the U World q bank for step 2. Should I add the uworld step 1?

UWorld for Step 1 is a must if you are taking Step 1. Would be exceptionally foolish not to do it. My test was exactly like doing 7 UWorld blocks.

Yes, it is absolutely necessary for step 1.

your question is unclear. If ur taking step 1 do the step 1 qbanks, step 2 use the step 2 qbanks.

Uworld step 2 is very different in terms of the questions it asks compared to step 1. Step 2 is mostly about management , next best step and diagnosis.Step one is about scientific minutiae. Buy step 1. Thank everyone later.

Uworld for step 1 is gold. I swear, some of the questions were almost VERBATIM.
