I've taken all of those shelf exams before I started hitting UWorld hard, and my god, I'd rather take those exams three times over than have a block of UWorld for Step I. Most of the questions on those exams require only recall or next logical leap; rarely did I see a triple-jump question. UWorld, however, is like 50% double and triple jump.

We definitely didn't take the same path test then. UW was extremely easy compared to my Path NBME. I have done extremely well in path this year and though the final was the hardest test I have taken in my life.
