With this information above, would it be better to take old forms that have quite a bit of history regarding your projected score and how that correlates to what you'd get on the real Step 1 exam.... OR would it be better to take only new forms that have explanations this time? I'm leaning towards old forms because the 3,000+ UWORLD questions all have explanations, so idk how much more a few practice exams will help much (and quite honestly reviewing a full 160 question test even next day sounds daunting).

Thoughts?
