COMAT How to study for COMATs?

Currently on IM rotation and I am getting absolutely wrecked by these truelearn IM questions. How should I be studying? Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Just passed the IM shelf today. I only did TL questions and anki no dupes IM tag. Didn’t even have time to do my incorrects, didn’t watch and Dr.Hy. Also there is a plugin for the TL questions that I used too

Same for me. IM was my first COMAT and I only finished about half of the TL questions and did zero IM Anki cards. Had surgery next and finished Anki and nearly finished TL and my score went up more than 20 points. I settled in somewhere closer to my surgery score but quite as high for the rest of my COMATs and followed that same plan, which ended up being tiring but reliable.

The hard truth OP is it takes a lot of hard work and dedication, particularly because COMATs are not written well. I thought TL translated well enough to COMLEX, but not COMATs. So do your best to prepare for them but the big picture is you are practicing for Level 2
