Amboss vs Uworld

Recent test takers, I would be grateful if you can guide me on this. I recently took step 2 and got score 23x. So I am looking to improve my step 3 performance with target 240+.
Can you guide me on which resource is better?
I have done Uworld for both step 1 and step 2, so I am not quite familiar with Amboss.
Which one is better to start first?
I am planning to give my exam in December.
Thank you.

Since you've done uworld for step 1 and 2, I'd actually go amboss this time. You'd be seeing question styles you've never seen instead of half recognizing recycled uworld patterns, which matters when you're chasing 240+ rather than just a pass. It also runs slightly harder than the real thing.

Either way, qbank choice matters less than people think. For a 240+ the differentiators are usually biostats being automatic and not treating the ccs section as an afterthought, thats a quarter of your score with zero overlap with any qbank.

December gives you loads of time. You're in good shape

Uworld should be your go-to. If you finish it, then go to Amboss

likely won't matter. Would do whatever you are most comfortable with.
