Virtually every medical student who has prepared for Step 1, Step 2 CK, or Step 3 has used USMLE World. “UWorld” (or just “UW”) is held in near-religious reverence for its questions that match the USMLE Step exams’ two-step reasoning process, with explanations that bring medical students to tears of joy and have cured several forms of cancer. I jest, but when I was a preclinical medical student at Stanford nervously anticipating my USMLE Step 1, I bought everything I was told.
“Everyone” knew that all you had to do to destroy Step 1 was to read five times, and do USMLE World at least twice (and review your wrong answers another couple times for good measure). Then and only then were you ready to brave the rite-of-passage exam. So why did I ignore this advice? And what did I do to eventually boost my score to 270? Here I deconstruct several of the most common beliefs surrounding the USMLE World Question Bank, and see whether they withstand rational scrutiny. Know that as much as the “common knowledge” surrounding USMLE World is opinion, this is also my opinion, based on my experiences preparing for Step 1/Step 2 CK, as well as having tutored students for the USMLE Step and Shelf exams.
NOTE: I considered sifting through any of the number of anonymous USMLE forums to find examples of this advice, but to be honest, I still get pangs of anxiety whenever I look through those forums, with all of their distress and breathless dogma. If you are one of the admirable, brave souls who can use those without getting palpitations, and find any such advice, share it in the comments and I will update this article (but I might not visit it myself =). Claim #1: You must repeat USMLE World at least twice (even if it means not doing another QBank) This is perhaps the most common advice I heard as a medical student, and one that I ignored. What is the basis for this common medical student belief?
The main reason given is that, because USMLE World is such a fantastic resource (and it really is), that doing it MORE THAN ONCE will somehow boost your score even further. This is one of the most common misconceptions I see among students preparing for Step 1: if something has helped you in the past, then somehow doing it infinitely more will increase your score indefinitely. This sounds reasonable until you consider that it ignores the opportunity cost of spending weeks repeating USMLE World over and over.
In other words, every single time you repeat a USMLE World question, you are losing the opportunity to study a question from a different question bank, one that might help you grow your knowledge in other ways that USMLE World will not. USMLE World is fantastic, but is by no means infallible. There are definite strengths and weaknesses to USMLE World, and to ignore other valuable resources is to set yourself up for potential disappointment. For example, it is excellent at making difficult two-step reasoning questions, although tends to be weaker on more recall-type questions that are also seen on USMLE Step 1.
