For the most part, the question that was rated highest numerically lined up with the qualitative results, though the UWorld pediatrics question actually scored slightly higher on its numerical scores, even though more examinees selected the TrueLearn question as the superior version. Examinees were also asked to rate aspects of the question numerically (specifically, the stem, the rationale, and how closely the stem matched the exam). The tallies below are based on examinees’ answers when asked to compare the two questions. There were clear winners in each set, but some results were closer than others, there were no total “blow-outs,” and no question from either TrueLearn or UWorld was rated negatively. Examinees were simply told to review each question in a set, answer survey questions related to the questions, and select which version they preferred overall.Įxaminees voted three out of the four TrueLearn questions superior to the equivalent UWorld question. The questions were also randomized so that “version A” and “version B” did not always correspond to either UWorld or TrueLearn. Thus, the questions in each set were unique but were designed to test and teach the same concept.Įxaminees were not told that any of the questions came from UWorld. Each set of questions tested the same learning objective and covered the same subject: one of them was from TrueLearn’s USMLE Step 2 SmartBank, the other from UWorld’s USMLE Step 2 QBank. Ten recent Step 2 examinees were sent links to four sets of two Step 2 questions (for eight questions total).
As part of maintaining our SmartBank, a practical test was performed to understand which questions students preferred, content-wise, by removing brand reputation as a factor with another industry leader – UWorld. As the 1,300+ question bank continues to grow, we strive to ensure we continue to provide the best testing experience. TrueLearn’s Step 2 CK SmartBank Outperforms UWorldĪn emerging Step 2 CK question bank, TrueLearn’s USMLE Step 2 CK SmartBank is quickly becoming one of the most comprehensive exam preparation tools available.
