I am going thru the free 150 qs from the usmle website and am wondering how well these correlate with the real exam. Any thoughts/experiences would be helpful. Thanks in advance!!

Recently took it. I felt the free Qs represented some of the exam by length and difficulty, and some it didnt (ie) the free Qs are pretty straight forward and the question length varies, just like the real exam can. Any of these tests only assess ur knowledge base, as its only half of the real exam, except the free Qs. So only use them as such. I did all the nbmes, the free Qs, and had NO repeats. However it is the same concepts and ideas so i felt comfortable during the entire exam. Just study world and whatever review book youre editing ur golden

i got an 89 or 90% on that thing which correlated to a 245 on the medfriends calculator and got a 252 on the real deal

I got an 81%...but no idea what that means. Medfriends says 217...which is awfully low.

The free 150 is easier than the real thing, and significantly easier than Uworld
