Members don't see this ad.

This is probably a stupid question. But, I can't find where to order the practice exams from?

Can anyone help? I found it once before but I can't seem to locate them now. Thanks.

Which ones are best?

Which ones are best?

Probably best to leave 15 and 16 until the end, as those are the most recent ones. I thought 16 was freaking insane, but since my school gives us vouchers for specific forms, we were all given 16 to do after our first pass (wtf). I've heard/read that 13 is/was a good predictor of actual test performance.

okay. I will keep 13 and 15 in my stack. I was looking to do no more than 3 since I have so much Uworld to do.

16 I may do early to motivate me then since I dont want to get down at the end before the test.

I did 16 first as well, and I'm glad that I did.

My personal strategy was to do one of the later ones first and save the other for the last week of prep. That way, I have an idea of how I would score on the real thing if I had taken the closest possible test both right after my first pass and near the end of my studying.

Oh, and I thought 16 was absolutely insane as well. My scores skyrocketed when I took other ones.

Yeah looking back, I'm glad I didn't save 16 for the end. I would probably be curled up in the fetal position.
