Sorry, I know this has probably been beaten to death.

I have taken NMBE 3 and 5. Saving 6 and 7 for later, and 8. I take the beast the end of June.

I was just debating whether to do NBME 1 and 2, or to do the UWORLD exams (UWSA) 1 and 2. Any input on that?

I was quite annoyed with NBME 3 and 5 that I couldn't see what specific questions I got wrong, and how many I got wrong.

I have taken NBME 1 and UWSA 1 and if I would choose one I would probably pick UWSA's. For starters, UWSA provides fantastic explanations just like UWORLD.

Since you have already done 2 NBME exams and are going to do 2 more later on.. you should definitely go with the UWSA exams since you can review the answers and explanations. You don't have to do EVERY NBME exam so don't think you're missing out on something.

Good call. I think you're both on to something. Thanks for the input.
