Hi all

I was wondering which people found a better test to do form 15 or 17. I currently only have enough time for 1 of the 2 before i take the exam.

thanks

There's no right or wrong answer. The usual SDN advice is newer > older, because most say they are closer to the question format of the real test. If you meant "better" as in score correlation, again, no right or wrong answer. It's different for everyone.
 
I personally thought they were equal in terms of question style/difficulty. The newer edition seemed to have a FEW questions that weren't covered by FA. My score differed by 2 points between the two exams; however, if you HAD to choose one, referring to the post above, I'd go with NBME 17.
