I would not use COMBANK as your only source to test your knowledge, but I find that it was OK in regards to difficulty and especially the style of questions asked. If it's a management question, just skip it and don't let it bother you. The multi-part questions were very accurate to the actual test.
Most of my classmates preferred COMQUEST for their questions due to theirs being "more difficult", but honestly, 90% of us went through UWORLD in its entirety, then did some of COMBANK/QUEST to get used to the shitty wording and format for COMLEX.
If I had any advice, DO ALL THE OMT QUESTIONS in both banks (if you have them) or any sort of paper review that you have. The "green book" as my class called it was pretty much my only study material for OMT. These are free and easy points, so don't miss them!
Good luck! I would also suggest you take the tutorial time to chill the fuck out and take some deep breathes. People say if they go right into it, they are so pumped up or nervous that they can't even keep a sentence in their head.
Nicholas Atlas of Osteopathic Techniques is our textbook for pre-clinical years and has most of the foundational techniques we learn, as well as a lot of the theory behind each kind of technique. I would stay away from most of the cervical techniques and HVLA (aka making stuff pop) until you have somebody that can kind of walk you through it.

I actually didn't think Level 1 was all that bad. Tons of buzz words and random shit, no pathophysiology, but it was pretty manageable.
There's a lot you can do to figure out what would work best for you, but specifically for the OMT component of COMLEX, be sure to throw in a couple of read-throughs of Savarese: http://www.amazon.com/OMT-Review-Edition-Robert-Savarese/dp/0967009014
