I don't know yet what get you more points, easy questions or hard ones?!
For example, 25 mistakes in NBME 13= 242, while 28 mistakes = 240!! So there is a big variability in weight of questions

weight of questions is not determined by easy/hard. it is determined by WHERE ON THE SCALED distribution you lie. if you are at 270, missing one question (easy OR hard), means a different change in you score than if you are at 225.
