What is harder Qbank or USMLE World?

[gutz0778]

Hello Everyone.

I am curious to know what bank of questions is harder, Kaplan Qbank or USMLE World.

I have heard people say different things.

What do you guys think?

Trdaitionally people think that UW is more difficult but I think that recently Kaplan has become more serious therefore I vote for it in your poll.

I also recommend you read this great article here Kaplan and UWorld; the race goes on

UW used to be harder but Kaplan recently has become amazingly difficult, they realized this issue

UW is definitely way more difficult than Kaplan

I've just started USMLE World a few weeks ago and am amazed to find it easier than Kaplan - in fact it feels significantly easier. Perhaps this is just a distorted perception due to expectation (by everyone's opinion of how hard USMLE World is). I'm not sure if things have changed recently over at Kaplan, but I find USMLE World quite a bit easier.

Good Question, Actually Qbank Kaplan is Harder, UW is easier.. I found it like that and a lot of friends of mine, even the Calculator out there in a lot of website, says that a score like 56% at Qbank Kaplan is 90+ and over UW its like 62% = 90+

The Question here is which is Harder... But it doesnt mean which is better... even that Qbank Kaplan is Harder, UW is better. Bottom line i would recommend both of those... As a lot of people say: UW is a MUST...


Hope it helps...

UWorld definite!

I haven't used the qbanks properly yet so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I've done about 40-50 questions from each bank just to get a sense of the style of the questions and to see how they ask questions.

The kaplan Qbank was killing me whereas I got almost perfect on the Uworld questions.

But 40-50 questions is a small sample size so maybe I just got some crazy questions from the qbank to skew my opinion.

where i can buy Uworld q bank book?? didn't find on internet....

[LatinGeorge]

i think many people will vote for UW just because they did UW. Many people in this forum don't do Kaplan's Qbank..

Is not a book, is an online q bank. Check UWorld on google and go to the page and buy it.
