Anyone else find that PassMed questions feel completely different to the actual UKMLA?

Been doing a solid 40-50 questions a day for the past few weeks and my scores are sitting around 65-70% which apparently is fine but it doesn't feel fine.

The thing that's throwing me is the question style. Passmed feels like it's testing whether you know the fact. The actual UKMLA feels like it's testing whether you can think. Like every answer is technically defensible and you're just picking the least wrong one.

Had one recently where the "correct" answer was to do nothing and reassure, and I'd gone straight for investigation because that's what every question bank drills into you.

Genuinely curious whether people find certain question banks closer to the real thing. I've heard Quesmed is better for the style but haven't tried it. Also whether anyone's actually bombing PassMed but doing fine in the real thing or vice versa.

Fourth year so not sitting it till early next year but trying to build good habits now rather than panic cramming later.
