Guys I have 8 days left till my test. I already purchased the UWSAs and I'm wondering if they're worth it to do with this few days left. I have only done NBME 16 last week with a 234. I would like to do a last round of memorization and NBME 17 at least before I sit for the test. Any input is useful, thanks.
 
They're useful as extra UW questions, but I don't recommend doing them in the last week. I got a lot out of just reading FA for the last week.
 
Some people will argue this is a huge waste of time, but I did nbme17 + uwsa1 back to back the week before my test just to get an idea of what it felt like to answer that many questions. It came out to be like 384 questions which is a good bit more than the actual test, but it gave me some extra confidence knowing I was able to keep focus for that length of time.

That being said, if you do go this route, I would recommend doing NBME17 before UWSA since it is the better predictor.
