The winner here was TrueLearn (5-2-3), with the TrueLearn rationale, in particular, coming out ahead (eg, “The explanation was more relevant to the question and provided more detail”). Examinees also stated that the question’s explanation was too detailed, challenging the learner to sift through concepts they feel they had already grasped. Overall, the majority of examinees thought the UWorld question resembled the exam more (eg, “Better in terms of length and number of lab values”) and that its explanation was appropriately thorough but also concise (eg, “Concept covered in totality”).īy comparison, a few examinees believed TrueLearn’s explanation was thorough, however may have had an excess of lab values. Some examinees thought that additional details could have been added to the UWorld question to increase its difficulty and mirror the exam more (eg, “It may be slightly short, so adding other details would be good”), and that the explanation could have done more teaching (eg, “It could be improved by explaining how increased septal wall thickness is diagnostic, and therefore relating it back to the question stem”). However, the granular numerical scores for both questions (quality of item, quality of rationale, how well the item matched exam style) were very similar, with the UWorld question actually coming up slightly ahead here. They also thought TrueLearn’s rationale was well-organized and more educational (eg, “The second version has an explanation that does better with connecting concepts”). Overall, the majority of examinees found the TrueLearn question to be more appropriately difficult and reflective of the exam (eg, “Incorrect answer choices are more relevant making it more difficult to arrive at the correct answer”). 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. Note, I do not work for USMLE world and I have no affiliation with USMLE world, I just like the question bank and believe it's an amazing resource for preparation for USMLE exams.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.
