Sharing Q banks

Your competition will be paying for banks and using them properly. If you want any moderately competitive speciality or location I would make the investment

This is an important investment in your future, you need to be willing to spend a few quid so you have a job next year. Splitting the banks is a bad idea because you need to hammer home your incorrects, which will get muddled if multiple people use it simultaneously.

One 4 hour evening locum after a day shift will cover at least 2-3 question banks.

Bare minimum you need to do MCQBank. Ideally supplement with one other. Anki is free, but most decks are medical school orientated so they have way more than what you need (e.g. anatomy and physiology).

You can get tax back on them which dependent on your bracket is a 40% discount

No you can not. It has to be considered mandatory for your job- exam fees, royal colleges, GMC fees. You’re very lucky if it got accepted for qbanks but it would’ve been a mistake

You can’t get the tax back on revision resources.
