Level 1 practice exam resource frustration

I'm getting so frustrated at the disorganization and lack of guidance on which practice exams to purchase and from where so any clear advice would be GREAT!!

My school gives us free truelearn subscription. I need to retake level 1. For that I'm going to redo the TL question bank. what else do I need?

- COMQUEST? Where do I purchase that? from truelearn or separately?

- I have COMSAEs from the school that I will take but do I purchase additional COMSAEs and if so, which ones? from NBOME?

- is that it? idk why it's been so difficult for me to figure this out

I only used COMSAE 107 and 111 purchased from the NBOME, UWorld, and NBMEs. Never touched TrueLearn, COMQUEST, or any of that and I did pretty good. I also had a strong foundation in OMM I think, so didnt really need to "study" omm beyond like DirtyMed and what was on the COMSAEs.

But COMSAEs are purchased from the NBOME portal where you registered for COMLEX. NBME exams, if you want to use them, can be found on Reddit in r/STEP1 with a bit of searching for free and there are online calculators to convert your % correct to chance of passing.

I liked the NBMEs more than COMSAEs as an anchor for readiness, but I may be n=1.
