I thought I could give people an update on USMLE Consult QBank:
I just did their 30-question free-trial, timed.
In question FOUR of thirty, I ALREADY found an error.
The vignette is of a child falling off of a bike, injuring his wrist, and he is unable to contact his thumb to his 5th finger, etc. etc. Then the question asks about loss of sensation.
Do you already see the problem here?
Distal median nerve lesions (at the wrist) don't result in loss of opposition, PROXIMAL ones do (e.g. with a supracondylar fracture). Distal lesions just result in diminished flexion of the lateral fingers and attenuated wrist flexion with ulnar deviation.
The other questions were also poor, and this is their FREE-TRIAL, which would be their best questions!
I can say, without a doubt, that even the worst questions in USMLE Rx (I've done ~2000 so far) are still better than the ones I just did on Consult. There is also no option to cross out answer choices, which I was not a fan of. I must say that I am an aficionado of the Qbank method for score augmentation, and I literally, regardless, am going to pass on Consult.
I had considered Weapon as an experimental possibility as well, but they don't even have a free-trial, let alone the fact that they have Kaplan-esque prices in the absence of any confirmed reputation. Therefore, I'm not even going to take the risk, considering Consult was that bad and I would have kicked myself if I had even purchased a month.
