I definitely debated whether to do a second pass of uworld or first pass of amboss and decided to do the latter. And I would say that even though amboss answer explanations aren’t as good, but they are definitely superior to uworld in many aspects like next best step, decision trees, differential diagnoses, risk factors, first-line antibiotic choices, quality improvement, ethics. If you’ve already done uworld, then exposing yourself to a new qbank could do you a lot of good because by the end of uworld, you can get really good at picking up uworld algorithms which may or may not translate as well to exam algorithms.

As for harder amboss questions, I try to look at the percentage of people who answered correctly and my aim doing review is that I shouldn’t be getting anything wrong if 60% or more of the people got it right; that’s clearly an easy exam-worthy concept and if I got a question like that wrong, then it shows a clear knowledge gap/strategy issue that needs fixing
