Probably UWorld, assuming you haven’t used it excessively/remember all of the answers. But the bigger issue is to address your APPROACH, since which QBank you use is much less important than how you use it. You can schedule a consultation to discuss this more here: https://yousmle.com/consultation

Do you recommend Kaplan or Uworld qbank for studying for step 3 after a previous failure?

If you dont recommend doing uworld twice, what is the next best Qbank. I have used Amboss but, kinda question it after doing it for awhile.

Hey! Does it make sense to be done with uworld once and then (while you solve nbmes and review them) purchase Kaplan Qbank and solve questions You’ve not seen before till your exam?

Hello Dr. Palmerton

Good Morning, I just wanted to inquire about the amount of Psychiatry cards in my Step 2 CK deck. Right now it is 28 cards is this accurate. Thank you, looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Anji

In reply to Jaya Sarin.

Hi Jaya – thanks for your e-mail. Unfortunately I haven’t used the Board Vitals QBank, so wouldn’t be able to give you an honest comparison with UW. I have found UW to be invaluable for preparation, though, so I wouldn’t use anything instead of it – perhaps in addition, if you found it particularly useful.

Step 1 prep advise: I can’t seem to find the answer to this online anywhere but what do you think about using Board Vitals question bank instead of UWORLD for Step 1 prep. Board vitals helped prep better for shelf exams since we do major clinical year before taking step 1 but was curious on your thoughts. Thanks .

In your study period, how many questions did you go through a day? time spent reviewing explanations? making cards? And how did this change as you went forward? Do you have a rough guideline on how long these things should take? sometimes I get through only 20 questions a day!

Could you post a sample daily schedule, I know it varies based on a lot of things, but just want a general idea. Lunch,/dinner exercise, caffeine, days off misc factors would be nice to see as well.

You can find my recommended resources here: https://www.yousmle.com/resources/

There are no great books for biochemistry, unfortunately. I have a large amount of video content available for biochemistry for group tutoring students, which you can find here: course.yousmle.com
