hello forum members
I am having my exam after 1 week from now but I was wondering if I should take another NBME
I took NBME 5,7,11,12 and my scores were between 240-250
I was planing to have nbme 13 two days before the exam but when searching the forums I saw many ppl complaining that nbme 13 is super hard and the hardest among all the NBMEs, so I am now afraid to take it and score a low score before couple of days from the exam and then freaking out in this critical time.
what do u think I should do? should I take 13 or 6 or to forget about them both and continue revising FA?
by the way I felt nbme 12 is super hard and full of weird questions

Hello there,
Hope you did well on your exam!!
I am a new member in the "Student Doctor" and I don't have an idea about the NBME questions.
Would you please tell me how can you subscribe with the NBME questions?
I did find some for free on the USMLE.org are those the same you are talking about or I can purchase them from some where else?
Thank you and good luck..

If you are two days before your exam, I personally wouldnt do it. I think your time might be better spent on material. However, I did hear that the style of questions on NBME 13 is closest to the exam (more experiment type questions).

If you feel like you already have all the material down and have time, then maybe u should do it

NBME 13 closely matched my actual Step 1 score. I thought the NBME 13 test was similar (maybe slightly easier) than my actual test. However, it was the only practice test I took other than the Free 150, so take that as you will.
