Has anyone felt that Archer step 3 qbank has mistakes? feeling like i wasted money. Should I still continue doing that qbank?

you are absolutely right mrsr5...I also wasted money. So many repetitive Qs and easy Qs. Nothing like Uworld though is ccs is good.

Thanks for replying success234. I think I will just stick to Archer lecs and CCS review. what is your opinion of archer review lecs? I find them okay-ish, but I wonder if medquest is better. I didnt take medquest bc their website said they have been having streaming issues.

@mrsr5..I did not take the archer rev lectures. I did do the medquest but found it too shallow.
I liked Kaplan step 3 videos.

Archer lectures and CCS are excellent.
Archer QBank is recently released one...when i bought it they honestly told me it is continuing to get more questions and not fully done yet. That's probably why they set their price very low. I finished archer qbank ...sbout 80% questions are excellent .
But I love the theory lectures and CCS the most

I will keep posting mistakes here. Will write to Archer guys if I have time. The forum wil also help me correct mistakes if any.
@valencia I hope I get some benefit from the qbank, hoping to use it for some practice before starting uworld

QID 560 is on pap smear guidelines for a female in mid teens who has started sexual activity. The answer in archer is pap smear every 2 years starting at age 21. This is incorrect -- the correct answer would be pap smear every 3 years starting at age 21. I chose the latter option and their system showed the 3 year gap as incorrect.

(If I am wrong, pl correct me)

Another problem is of poorly worded questions. There are quite a few questions where it is unclear as to what is it that they want to ask. One qs I cam across asked what disease the picture points to and the picture in that question was missing.

Is there anybody who would be interested in discussing archer qbank answers here?

Ok, I will start. If you suspect child abuse, will you admit the child right away or will you interview the child n the parents separately?
