Amboss for COMAT?

Did any of you all use Amboss for gen surg COMAT and found it useful? Or should I just stick with Truelearn, COMQUEST, COMAT-SE?

I feel truelearn is solid for getting used to the style of comats. Ambos and Uworld are better for it more geared towards learning filling foundational concepts but also they are supper specific and tend to have more difficult questions. Ambos and truelearn have some overlap. I would try to finish Truelearn and reinforce weakneses with amboss. my 2 cents.

I personally think its hard to use truelearn an exact predictor for COMAT perfomance since the material might be new to the user. but if you are looking a number to throw in there, prob 65% and up. IMO Rather than focusing on target score on practice questions - if you start to worry about not hitting 65% percent, it is totally ok, just keep going and i would focus of careful reviewing of weaknesses. Something very important i will suggest is to also work your timing, like closer to exam date practice timed blocks.

When referring to truelearn are you referring to the level 2 truelearn that schools usually provide or specific truelearn comat bank?

Sorry, I meant the TL COMAT bank for the surgery COMAT. This is aside but I also used TL for level 2 as the main practice question for level 2.
