Keep a lookout for your medical school hosting a USMLERx “Scholarship” which is code-word for “promotional free qbank subscription that coincidentally creates free advertising.” Furthermore, either of these titles can be picked up used or borrowed from friends. Unlike question banks, this is usually self-selected by those whose learning style works well. This last title is actually not a question book, but rather goes over cases with multiple questions that could come up for any given question stem. One money-saving tip is to use the corresponding book First Aid Q & A for the USMLE Step 1 (often referred to as “paper USMLERx”) and/or First Aid Cases for the USMLE Step 1. When surveyed, about 60% of students who used this question bank rated it as Very Good or Excellent. This corresponding question bank to First Aid does extend past the book’s knowledge and can be used as a true supplement (not just rehashing the exact same content), which is why it represents our runner-up question bank recommendation. Questions are true to the exam in content and difficulty, with great answer breakdowns. USMLERx comes from the group that makes First Aid for the USMLE Step 1. Purchasing a second question bank (see below) is only recommended for this scenario for those who really excel by doing questions. However, if you find yourself burning through the question bank quickly and expect to finish it early, we recommend saving approximately 300 for the very last week of studying. Number of questions should be tailored to individual learning style.
This number should increase as you get closer to the exam date. Some questions every day should be general (randomly chosen) questions. Usage: You should do questions every day you study, with a heavy focus on the topic you just reviewed. This is a large cost, so as a (repeated) point of disclosure, MedStudentBooks receives absolutely no benefit or compensation from USMLE World. While tracking progress can be reassuring during this stressful time, it’s not why students should purchase a question bank. Performance is tracked by subject and topic, but overall analytics leave something to be desired at times as improvement-graphing is not a feature. Answers are comprehensive, high yield, and fulfilling. Difficulty overall is slightly higher than the real deal, but at an appropriate level that doesn’t feel ridiculous like some of the other question banks. More importantly, the question stems and content are in a similar style. Review: The interface and question types are the closest approximation to the actual FRED2 format you will find on the actual Step 1 exam.
When groups of medical students are surveyed about resources, this is consistently rated the highest of the question banks, with around 95% of students who used it rating it “Very Good” or “Excellent” after taking the Step 1. This is our top recommendation, without question.
