Hello folks,
I have a question for the guys who have taken the step 3 already and used UW questions for preparation.
Which questions did you find harder. I tried to find a similar thread on the forum but there is none, so maybe we can start one.
Thanks

Come on guys, 60+ views and not a single answer. We can do better.

hehe, you should probably go to prep4usmle.com and ask your question there, since it usually takes a few weeks to even get 1 reply on this board.

i didn't find UW to be that similar to the real exam, but then again i am a very bad test taker and took it twice! the real thing was more vague. most of my questions were very long and had barely enough time to read them. but post on prep4usmle, many different views there.

I think they are comparable in terms of difficulty, although not hugely representative in terms of subject matter, but the questions are a lot shorter on UW. Each question on the real think is about twice as long as anything you find on world, so time becomes a very real issue on this test (unlike the first two Steps, which weren't time crunches for a lot of us).
