Step 1 is a month and 10 days away for me. I did NBME form 11 last week, and was planning on doing one each week, but I don't know if I can afford the time. Should I stick to doing 1 form a week, or should I limit it to just a few more. Which forms would be recommended if I only had time to do a few (I guess the newer ones, but anyone have any input as to which forms more closely relate to the actual test)?

So for those that took the test / are planning on taking the test soon, how many NBMEs are you guys planning on taking?
 
Test on August... Gone through earlier NBMEs already (1,2,3,4,5,6 planning to do 7 soon) which are not available online anymore. Good for learning, not much for assessment. Plan: 11 or 12 6 weeks out. 13 0r 15 2 weeks out. 16 or 17 1 week out
