PassMedicine wins with it's content map and knowledge bank/text book type resources although to be fair I haven't ever delved into Quesmed's content bank. 0 Report Reply
I also take much more detailed notes on the bottom of the page, as passmedicine, whilst great for NICE guidelines and first line management, is pretty poor on the basic science and the detail behind it.
However I’ve read somewhere that they recommend using pass medicine as the last resort when you have run out of questions (which idk how that happens) but 2 people I know have gotten great results purely by relying on passmedicine. I’m someone who didn’t do so great last time so which resource would you recommend me using?
I always recommend Passmedicine to medics from my medical school because their questions are a good representation of our exams, and are therefore a good way to revise. I have also found Passmedicine really good in helping me learn NICE Guidelines for common conditions without staring at a textbook for hours.
Or at least in Passmedicine it is, you can zoom through them-even with reading & making notes their explanations you can still zoom. I bought Passmedicine first because it's cheapest and when I've finished all the Qs on that, I've had OnExamination recommended to me as being a bit harder than Passmedicine so I was going to go for that ...
Hi, I'm prepping for ucat and I'm using passmedicine to do practice mocks. However, I'm not sure whether it is easier or harder than the actual thing. Could someone who has used passmedicine and sat the ucat please suggest if it is of a similar level of difficulty? Many thanks, S

Passmedicine is a great resource, but I would just bare in mind that some of the questions are v v specific. Also key when using it, is not to just click through as many as you can, but to really take time as to why you answering the way you are, and why each of the other options isn't right: e.g. Chest pain scenario and differential - sounds like an MI, but why is it not pericarditis.
I'm a current 3rd year medical student and my scores on Passmed Finals are that bad. I know doing questions is meant to be the absolute best way to revise for exams, but I'm getting so incredibly discouraged.
I was using passmedicine for my practice mocks in the beginning of my ucat prep journey, and I always came out with really bad scores, especially in quantitative reasoning. I was reserving medentry for when I got closer to the exam date, and so I just recently purchased it, and I did a diagnostic full mock and scored highest in QR than all the ...
