What do you guys think? Is one more informative of the other?


UWSA 1: 232 (2 weeks in after 1st run of FA)
Free 150: 81% (Right after UWSA1 :bang: should save it for the end)
UWSA 2: 242 (UW 50% complete)
UWorld 95% complete Average: 65% random timed first pass (Last 10 blocks 70%)
Kaplan QBank: 70% (25% complete)

I'm aiming for 245-250 taking test 7/14

Should I do an NBME now just to see, or save those for the end? (Cause they do cost $$ too :D

I'll reply since no-one has yet. I am taking the test on the 8th of July. I think you should do n NBME. My reason is that my World SA score 3weeks out was 265+ and my World avg with 90% done on all random is 79% with the last few blocks being 83%. If I put that into the clinicalreview calculator it says 271. This is bullsh*t. When I add my NBME it comes down to 258. Even that seems pretty drn high. They do, however, seem to think NBME is WAY more predictive. Even if you put in a World score of 100% and a NBME of 240 you don't get past 250. Furthermore, putting in your lates World SA and last 10 blocks gets a 252. But this can go up or down a lot with the NBME. So, IMO, I'd do an NBME.
