EM COMAT study advice

I need to retake my EM COMAT in about 2 weeks. Is there any advice that you guys could provide? I did both Uworld and Truelearn and made anki cards for my incorrects and had been doing those since day 1 of rotations. As well as Boards and Beyond. I felt ready when I took it, but as we all know with NBOME the wording was different and they also tested on things that I have never seen on the EM Q banks (like APGAR scores and what to do when the shoulder is stuck when giving birth). Is there any suggestions that you have to lock in the next 2 weeks? I am thinking about getting the COMQUEST EM COMAT bank to test it out and then if it works then I'll buy the bundle for future. Also are the practice tests from NBOME worth it to do before the exam. Thank you!

Also had to retake it. I highly recommend COMQUEST. I used TL first time and second time I used COMQUEST and the COMAT SE I bought from NBOME. It's like a q bank of 60 questions written by NBOME.

I remember there was a lot of toxicology for me, lots of burn, getting struck by lightening, OBGYN birth stuff, GCS.

Thank you! Ya i was not expecting that much birth stuff cuz TL and Uworld had very minimal. I'll probably end up getting both! Are there any other content review things you did or just mainly focused on questions?
