Hi there,
So I recently signed up for usmlerx and I like how their questions are getting me to think hard about the options. I'm constantly able to narrow down the answer to about 2 choices and it seems like I always take the entire hour to finish a block of 48 questions. This is a big difference from my Kaplan Qbank performance pattern. It didn't take half as much thinking and I was almost always able to finish 48Questions in 45 mins. Is usmlerx known to be "harder" than Kaplan? I'm also planning to start Uworld on the weekends and I was wondering for those who have done all three Qbanks, which one did you find to be the hardest?
Your opinions will be greatly appreciated!

Some Rx questions are hard, so don't get discouraged. Even Kaplan can be tough cause they focus on details,my uworld % was higher than Kaplan.

Just use it as learning source, forget about % or else you will beat yourself up and get demoralized.

Thanks for your encouragement. Does anyone know if the predicted usmle score that the qbank gives you is accurate'ish?

Pretty big CI in my opinion but I haven't take the test... Also I will be done with Rx >3 months before I sit the beast so I'd like to think my score would improve. Hopefully.

I thought USMLERx was great for memorizing the material in first aid (which is basically the test). USMLE World is great for seeing how well you apply the knowledge you have (and picking up a lot more with the detailed explanations). Kaplan, IMHO, is junk, too much minutiae.

I would only trust online current nbme to give you an accurate picture of where you are in your prep, avoid using anything else.
