Need help with question bank selection

[Vistaalta]

Hello! I have to take my step one in about 4 months. I am on first aid right now. I would like to start doing some questions every day so that I get the idea of what I am missing out on and what things to do. This will also help me familiarize myself with the way things are tested. What question banks should I do before I start u world? Thank you

You will need 4 months with Uworld itself so that you can do it 3 times. Don't waste time on other question banks. Treat Uworld like a textbook. Know everything in it. At the same time keep reading FA again and again and you should be able to get 240 easily.

Thank you datson! So you mean instead of testing myself on u world I should just use it as a learning aid?

Yea.
What I do is I create a test of 44 questions (i.e 1 block), timed, answer them and and then go back and review. For each question, I read the complete explanation, figure out why the other options are not the right answers and what change in the question could make them the right answers. I also read the same topic from FA even if I read it just a few hours back just to reinforce it.
