So I really don't know too much about practice exams. I know NBME tests *exist* but nothing else beyond that. Don't even know if they are full length or half length like they ones schools usually give at the end of 2nd year. Could someone give me a quick rundown?

Also I'm about 8.5 weeks away from test day and would like suggestions for typical schedules for when you guys usually take your practice exams. At first I was thinking of MCAT-style where maybe I take the test 3-4 days apart, counting backward from test day... but if these tests are too long and it's more advantageous to review, then I'm all for that. I just really don't know.

Willing to listen to what you guys are doing. Thanks!
 
NBMEs are 4 sections, 50 questions, 65 minutes each. UWSAs are 4 sections, 46 questions, 60 minutes each.

I'd take one before you start studying to get a baseline, one after your first pass through FA, and then whenever you feel comfortable after that.
