Hi,
I would recommend start UW when you finish reading Kaplan, and do UW in the real test mode.
Learning should be systemic at least at the very begining, so learn Kaplan first. Learning from questions is the most efficient way only after you have a framework already build up in your brain.
Most importantly, UW are very similar to real questions in terms of the analytic skills required. If you use it at very beginning, you have no bases/facts to answer the questions, the analytical part of the question design is wasted, you basically are feeding yourself with the answers.
