How much $ for the NBME online tests?

I am confused. Is it $45 for one test or both???

Are they even worth doing with one week left before step 1? I am freaking out. I have a 63% on qbank and I am terrified that I am going to fail this thing....

It's $45/each, so $90 to do both forms. I'm similarily freaking out. I have 3 days left and I've done about 70% of Qbank with overall of 64%. Mostly 60-70% range recently with 78% and 48% outliers. I did form A today and got 510 which, if predictive would put me just above the mean on the real thing. I could live with that!

510 is pretty good. I'd certainly be happy breaking the mean on step 1. Are the NMBE questions easier than qbank?

I took both of the forms (form 1 at 6 days, the other at 4 days before) and I thought they were different from q-bank, but after taking the real thing, they were very similar to the real thing. If I had to do it all over again, I would do them because they give you a good feel for the test. Good luck. and if you guys weren't freaking out, I'd be worried! 😉
