However, remember that the USMLE is not going to trick you. There will be questions (10-15% for me) that test knowledge that you have never prepared for. Don't dwell on questions that you are unsure about, pick whatever you instinct says and move on. I guess the key is to be very disciplined. So overall, you should not have time management issue due to "long stems". Besides, there are stems that are very short. Yes, the stems may be a bit longer than U world, but not significantly. However, the real thing turned out to be quite doable, at least for me. So I was totally stressed out before the exam. I have read tons of posts where people complained about how ridiculously difficult the exam was. Do Kaplan Qbank if you are shooting for 260 or higher. U world + MTB 2 and MTB 3 will get you above 250 if you can master 90% of the knowledge. My feeling is that U world is the most useful resource. You don't need to read everything, I guess only those "questions and answers" in these books are useful for the exam. I scanned through MTB 2 and MTB3 during the last week, which I was surprised to find there are stuffs that are not covered in U World Qbank or Kaplan Qbank. I activated UWSA, but I was too nervous to do it. My score was probably 235-240 based on the answers in the forum.

I only tried the NBME 4 questions offline (two weeks before). My Fred 150 was about 88% (one month before the exam) Again, I read the explanations carefully once, wiki or uptodate the stuffs I am not familiar with, and reviewed my markings three times. I only did it once (random, timed), my average was 78%. I started doing U World Qbank 2 months before the exam.
I was a bit disappointed so I read the explanations of Kaplan Qbank carefully twice (literally words to words). Then I did Kaplan Qbank with an average of 61% (the mean for that Qbank was 58%). (I didn't read the books because they are too thick!) I hope my experience can be helpful to you.
I benefited a lot from this forum while preparing for Step 1 and Step 2 CK.
