Kaptest features a lot of factual questions like, what month does the heart start beating and when does the notochord develop and all!
While UW is a lot clinical interpretation and less of facts.
The actual exam is more closer to which of these two type of questions?
I mean do i need to know all of those facts or can i stop worrying abt them (of course ones like translocatios and disease names for enzyme deficiencies etc., i would manage).
Somebody let me know so that i can start off studying accordingly

i used both and they are definitely different. i was suprised how much harder Kaplan QBank has become. it required 3 or 4 mental jumps to get the question right. which is a good thing since that is the how alot of questions ask you to process information like that on the exam. Maybe not as many jumps on the exam itself, but thinking along those lines. now. i actually think Kaplan was too much information and should have focused on USMLEWORLD instead. Thinking back, i think UW is more relevant but QBank definitely helped. if i have to do it again, i think i will do both. but if you ask me to choose only one, i would say USMLEWORLD.

ya i subscribed to UW and definitely doing that. but alongside if kaptest helps i am surely doing that too. but such factual stuff (not given in kaplan notes) make me nervous. should i stop worrying abt that and just keep solving

i wouldn't worry too much with the minute details that pop up in the kaptest. i just moved on if i saw that. on the exam, UW seems to be more on target.
