Should I do ALL of the NMBE exams?

I am about 3 weeks out to my test and I have taken NBME 1. I was wondering if it would be worth it to try to cram 6 NBME exams into the 3 weeks I have left, or if I should only do maybe 1 per week?

1 per week sounds more practical, or maybe 2 nbme and 1 uwsa

Are these just to gage an idea of where you stand or do people generally do better on the actual thing after practicing these? I definitely don't have enough money to dish for 6 NBME's, at most 2.

I think that would be a really bad idea. You don't even get to see the answers so you learn pretty much nothing. I use them only to gauge where I'm at. UWorld self assessments are way better if you really want to do tests b/c at least then you can read all the explanations and know what you missed. If you spent 4 hours x6 doing UWorld instead of a bunch of NBME's you would be way better served I think.
