My question is pretty much in the title haha, just wondering. I just finished a section of it right now and starting on second one, but wasn't sure how representative this material really was since apparently its not online anymore? and some of these questions (i.e. graphs asking for how linear a dot plot is) don't seem like they are relevant now?

Concepts remain important, so do the questions for sure.

Question-style has changed on the real USMLE to incorporate longer, more UWorld-like vignettes.

A few of the minutiae questions I had on my real deal were similar to the early-NBME style; they were very short and obscure.

ah so would you say it is still a relatively okay predictor of the score range I am in right now? or will it mostly just show me what concepts i suck at?

Do it off. It would hardly take one hour of your time.
