Just took NBME12...scores were 7 points lower than NBME 13...Is there any unofficial consensus here on SDN regarding NBME12? I read that some find it more difficult...would you guys say it underpredicts? or just right? Thanks!

Just getting nervous to see a drop since my test is coming up in a few days.
 
NBME 12 under predicated my score by 12 points and I took it 9 days before my exam. However I did do 11 as well on the same day and that too under predicted, this time by 8 points. I probably did a little worse on 12 because of fatigue but who knows. After these back to back NBMEs I focused only on FA going through it one more time in its entirety and that's what helped me increased those extra points.
