Hi-
I've already done NBME 4, have 2.5 wks left, wondering what NBME's i must do? Is 3 the only one to avoid since it's unfairly weighted for some subjects rather than spread out?

any help is appreciated

6 and 7. Absolutely do those two.

I liked 7 a lot. It was very, very close to what I envision Step 1 being like from what everyone has said about it. I'll let you know in 2 weeks if I still feel the same way. 😛

I say 7 and 5. I've heard 6 is kinda an odd ball from multiple people that have taken the test.

maybe that's just wishful thinking also though

I will third the sentiment and say 6 & 7 .

1-5 are about the same level of question writing, which is a bit simpler than that of the step.

I did them all. There was 1 picture that was a repeat on my step as well as many similar questions.

i got the extended feedback for nbme 6 but its so annoying go through what you missed. on many of the questions, i have no idea what the right answer is even though i know what i picked was wrong.

and if some are repeating, i should probably be figuring them out... any suggestions?

There some other forums where people discuss such stuff. If you google part of the question you got wrong, hopefully it will pop up with a discussion thread. I was lucky enough to have a buddy who was taking it at the same time and between the 2 of us, we figured out all the answers.
