Using AMBOSS as a supplement for NBME Shelves and COMLEX Level 2 CS/USMLE Step 2

[phagocytosis41]

Hi all, I am currently using AMBOSS as supplementary questions before I do UWORLD. Is AMBOSS really that beneficial when prepping for the NBME Shelves (mainly FM, Surgery, Emergency med and ambulatory med) and COMLEX Level 2 CS/USMLE Step 2? I am doing AMBOSS everyday before I do UWORLD and AMBOSS is very difficult. I am questioning whether I should continue using AMBOSS.
AMBOSS was very helpful in preparing me for my weakest parts for Step 1 but I don't feel as if AMBOSS is helpful. Anyone have any thoughts on it? Thanks.

Amboss is like Medbullets+ when it comes to Step 2 and shelves. Very good. Questions are unnecessarily hard. Do not use it or Uworld for COMAT exams, gotta trudge through Comquest/Combank for that crap. The content is just so random you have to use a Qbank that gears toward it.

so really just comquest/combank for COMLEX Level 2 CS? What about UWORLD for Level 2 CS?

I am just talking about COMAT exams (the DO version of shelf exams)

not sure about level2. Have to do Uworld for step 2

Is there a 'zanki step 1' type deck for step 2 that people use as a gold standard source?
