The main differences
UWorld is the stronger practice tool, with a large Step 1 bank and self-assessments, but its COMLEX-specific content is a 140+ question OMT supplement. Lecturio teaches: thousands of lectures and twice as many OMM questions, and a year costs about half of UWorld’s 360-day plan. Many students use a question bank for practice and video only for weak topics.
