USMLERx Step 2 Qmax vs Step 1 Qmax

[ChessMaster3000]

I was just wondering if anyone's used both, and if they found one to be more difficult than the other. I am finding step 2 qmax significantly more difficult, and am trying to figure out if the questions are truly harder or if I just forgot a lot

is Step 2 qmax worth doing? i was really thinking of just getting a months subscription and hammering out those questions.

Curious about this as well. I used both UWorld and Rx for Step 1. Wasn't the biggest fan of Rx but it was nice having more questions. I have UWorld for Step 2 and was considering adding on Rx since it's on sale right now.

I'm going through it right now. I know I won't have time to finish it all, and honestly I'm +/- on it. Some of the questions are ridiculous with "what am i thinking" type answers, but many are great. I have definitely learned a lot with it. I will say, it's HARD. Whether hard translates into good step 2 prep is another question.

Yeah i started it a couple of days ago as well. Got through the Endocrine section, and now doing Family Med. I'm totally bombing the epidemiology and stats sections though

I'm generally an advocate of doing as many questions as possible, but many of the 2CK Rx ones (I'm ~80% through the QBank now) are poorly written. The Step 1 QBank is much better.

The concepts are important to take away from Rx 2CK, but take incorrect answers with a grain of salt.
