to take nbme 4 one week out from exam or not???

[darkmansaad]

The title says it all
i've taken forms 1,2,3....is it worth taking 4 at this stage?

1 - 219
2 - 232
3 - 224

form 3 really freaked me out cuz of the heavy molec bio, but dunno if anyone recently took step 1 after form 4 or found form 4 to be ******ed in general. i still have 30% of my UW bank to go throu with a 70% avg right now so i dunno if that makes a diff...
please ANY input is appreciated, 7 days out is starting to really wreak havoc on my nerves.

I did all four and found Form 4 to be the whackiest of them all. I thought it had the most mol/cell bio mad scientist questions out of all the forms. I felt I was guessing on almost 40-50% of the questions. Oddly, I did much better than I thought I did. It was just weird.

I recommend completing the rest of UW. I think you'll get more out of that than doing another NBME, although based on your UW score, you should do OK on Form 4.

took NBME 2 to get a feeling of where I stand.
NBME2 253 (4wks before exam)
That's it.

Why?
1. I know I'll get freaked out if I get low score.

2. You cannot "study" NBMEs b/c no answers or explanations.
I would complete the rest of UW, because UW has answers and explanations.
