Step I nbme 7 vs 12

[qtMD]

so my boards are next weekend and i want to take a last practice nbme this week - i've already done 11 and 13 and have read mixed things about which test to do next. would you guys recommend doing 7 or 12 this week?

12.

I took 12 2 weeks after 7 and got the same score on both. 😡 Do what you want with that information...🙄

I thought they were both pretty similar in terms of difficulty, but I made about 6-7 really dumb mistakes on 12...

I would say 12. I did 12 four days after 7 and went down five points. I thought 12 was a little harder and threw more random stuff at you, which could prepare you more? In the end, I doubt it matters too much.
