Not harder and less representative. If you have extra time and want a bit of content-review, then maybe add one or two. Otherwise stick with your plan above ^

j/w why don't you like exam 2 from either ns or ek

Thank you!
I did research on ns exams, and heard advice to skip fl 2 because its not representative at all of the mcat.

And then for ek, I heard fl 3 and fl4 were the better ek exams. Unfortunately...I found this out after buying ek 1

EK2 was worth doing, I thought its C/P was devastatingly difficult but great practice but yes EK4 and EK3 are the best ones. EK1 and EK2 are good to have done if you get some annoying low-yield C/P
