I will be taking my STEP 1 in June 9. I have taken NBME 6 and 11, UWSA 1. I will take the practice test at the testing center a week before STEP 1. I have UWSA2 and a doctors in training assessment left to take. Can anyone recommend what NBMEs to take that will be predictive of my score and also is it a good idea to take an assessment every week?

Take NBME 7 a week before your exam if you already took NBME 6. I took NBME 7 the week before my test date and my Step 1 score was very comparable.

Any suggestions on which one we should do first? I'm still 1 week away from finishing MS2 and then starts Kaplan for 6 weeks, they will provide us with 2 full length tests (a diagnostic and one at the end) + small subject specific tests in between classes, however since the NBME SAs seem to be more score accurate I was wondering if there is a specific order one should start in?

A lot of people on SDN say you should do NBME 6 closest to test date, but I honestly don't think it makes much difference.

Neither do I, though I do think you should tend towards the later forms.

I have taken Form 7 and am planning on taking Form 11/12 later this month. Step 1 is early June for me.
