I'm not sure what the consensus is now on the NBME exams, but there's a lot of them and I keep hearing different things about which ones are the "best" to do.

What are the must-do NBMEs?

ie, 7, 11, and 12? Which order?

Real Deal (June 19th) :

Here's my order, you'll see a lot like it in the 20xx scores and experience threads, take it for what it's worth.

The more assessments the better. Are they necessary? No. Some people need to take 15 to get that 250. Some people take 3 and get a 250.

Know what you need to do, and do it.

I've heard people knock the offline ones, as if they were easier or something. I was planning on doing all the online ones and no UWSA's. I guess you could then call the online NBME's "must-do".

the ones that are retired are probably not worth it. I think anything after 6 is golden, especially the newer ones.

16 for sure would be a must-do.

Perhaps a stupid question, but where do you find these NBMEs and what are "offline" NBMEs?
