Which NBME practice tests?

[FiveOClock]

Searched for current general thoughts on which NBME practice forms and there hasnt been a thread in a while. What are the general thoughts on which practice test to take? Are all the forms approximately equivalent?

If I recall correctly (which I often don't), someone had recently emailed the NBME asking about form 18, and the correlation of other forms and received a reply stating that all the current purchasable forms (12-18) are statistically accurate reflections.

You should be able to find the actual post, with the quoted email posted within the last 2 weeks or so I believe for exactly what was said.

^ya I remember seeing that too... They probably are all decent statistical indicators on your score but from what I've heard 18 is the most accurate reflection on what the current exams "feel" like (style of question, difficultly etc). I'm sure one of the students who recently took the exam and have taken the other NBME's can weigh in better on that.
