If you had to choose between these two question banks, which one would you use?
 
UW hands down,

usmle rx just buy the FA book of question there you have 1,000 questions from the site.

PS: someone made a poem about UW, I forgot but it was so 😍

That was actually just a Whitney Houston song 🙁


DrDude, at the moment I don't think anyone even knows what the best one is. Here's what I understand so far:

USMLEworld: Cheapest with the least amount of questions. Good questions, very, very difficult and multi-layered. Sometimes the questions are poorly worded. Good question reviews.

Qbank: The most expensive by far but the old standby. Some people claim that its questions focus too much on memorization, others say that's exactly what they need to drill it into their brain. You can't go wrong with qbank.

USMLErx: Haven't heard much about it, made by first aid, if your goal is to memorize first aid backwards and forwards I think this would be a good companion.

Personally I'm using USMLEworld, Qbook, and Robbins Review of Pathology. But I don't really feel like I have enough time to go through everything (~6 weeks). Oh well... +pity+
