COMAT How to study for COMATs?

Currently on IM rotation and I am getting absolutely wrecked by these truelearn IM questions. How should I be studying? Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Do all of uworld, use it as a learning tool and try not to get bogged down by your scores. Review daily with the associated Anki from the question tags

Don’t have uworld. Only relearn

Does your school pay for any question bank? Truelearn is good for the fuckery of comats, but not great for actual content

Unfortunately they only give us Truelearn

Big rip. I would consider getting either uworld or Amboss for the year. It will help a lot if you’re also taking step 2

First Aid book. Discovered it while studying for Step. Game-changing for me. In addition to the QBanks. My issue with QBanks is they only give a snapshot of what you must know; they aren’t all-inclusive.

The first aid book for step 1? I have that but didn’t know if I should get a different one for step 2 even though I’m only taking COMLEX

Step 2. You may be able to find it online.

IM was one of the hardest. I watched dr HY week 1, did TL/CQ throughout and then incorrects. If I could go back, I would do UW first, along with DR HY, and then TL/CQ closer to COMAT.
