Different types of NBME- Comprehensive Basic Science vs NBME 3,4,5,6 etc

What's the difference? Are each equally predictive of a score if I were to take Step 1 now?

So pre-final exams of second year and pre- 30 day study period I just got a NBME Comprehensive Basic Science score of 73/207. I didn't do any prep for this exam. Can I realistically get this to above 230 after studying for the next 7 weeks?


Sorry if this is a duplicate post? I think the big post going is strictly referring to NBME 1, 2, 3, etc.

I think the numbered NBME forms are older, retired versions of the CBSE. I assume that the most recent ones (the CBSE that your school might administer, or NBME 6,7,11,12) would be more accurate predictors than earlier forms.

I think that seven weeks is plenty of time to bring your score from 205 to 230. Do a lot of questions, and study hard!
