I know you mean it well but keep in mind that for the most part, we have never even heard of the USMLE over here. There is no help at our schools; no advisors to ask.
How much help would you get at your school if you were studying for a Scandinavian license or something? Actually, you'd probably get more help than I got at my school.
One advisor refused to believe there was anything called the USMLE. He insisted there was a test you could take in England that would allow you to practice both there and in the US.
Anyway,
Webpath can be found at:

Neil, this is how I used Webpath. I made charts with all my percentage scores on them. Like I would do G-I and score 70% and then a week later (hopefully) score more than that. I probably did every question on there 5 times or more. I fully believe in doing questions questions and then some more questions.
I did medrevu - every question 3 times. qBank every question twice. All my review books, every question at least 2 or 3 times. Probably adds up to 40,000 questions or something.
I didn't study all that much. 2 months was what I had and I hadn't taken pathology yet (still haven't). I just focused on the questions. My gross anatomy book (BRS)....... I only did the 500-some question maybe 5 times.
OK, that sounds pretty anal but I just can't read the same stuff over and over again. Nothing sticks when I do that. It's like I recognize it but it it doesn't stick. At least questions generate some kind of activity.
Anyway, good luck.
