Step I free 150...how necessary?

[lilmisty]

Basically, I got my test in a few days...! Either I shove FA down my throat or do the free 150....! Which do you think is more worth it?

I've heard the free 150 is kind of easy? I don't want to get misled as to the difficulty of the exam, since I've been doing mostly NBMEs and Uworld....

Thoughts?

Classic NBME. Their sample questions for the NBME subject exams also tend to appear on the real thing, too.

Depends. Do you want free points or not?

Thanks for posting these @NeuroLAX. I noticed one says "For those testing before mid-may 2014" does that mean that there will be another released relatively soon?

Are these comparable to older nbme's that while available, aren't representative? The last thing I need to do is look through more questions 😉
