UWorld has been instrumental in my content review. They have amazing explanations for each question. Their website's interface is easy to use with multiple functionalities that you can use at your disposal - the flashcard feature and notebook feature helps me organize the questions I would like to review over again."
I like how UWorld Qbank lets you simultaneously LEARN while you PRACTICE through detailed answer explanations that go deeper than the Question and Answers itself and thoroughly connect back to concepts to review. Also, features like 'notebook' and 'flashcards' enhance this active learning and practice."
The explanations are the best of any question bank I've used. They're detailed without being overdone. The notebook and flashcard features are very handy. The options for test making are flexible so you can really tailor the question blocks to your needs. 10/10 times I'd choose UWorld for studying for any big exam. There's no comparison."
