I started with kaplan and now am doing USMLEworld and am scoring Higher in usmleworld then kaplan. I feel usmleworld tests more concepts and high yield stuff, while kaplan tests all the nitty gritty stuff.

Oh good i'm not the only one. I had the same experience with both qbanks, scoring higher in UW than Kaplan. Anyway, I have to agree that Kaplan likes to test alot of detail that is often found only in their review books. Furthermore, many of their questions are straight recall, and rarely test one's ability to apply the information.
I havent taken the exam yet, but as Dr. Goljan says, "they dont ask what it is, but how it works.......concepts, concepts, concepts". Maybe thats why the guy decided to write one of the most amazing review books in existence. Anyway, I think UW does a great job of addressing that style of question.
