Step II Which NBME to do?

[Monkey Jones]

I am doing my Step 2 CK in three weeks, and have completed 40% of UW. I want to do an NBME to see where I'm at. I am a US-IMG who scored slightly above the mean on Step 1.

Does anyone know which NBME I should do to check? Which one should I save for the end?
Thanks in advance for any tips.

I heard nbme 4 is good.

I have only heard bad things about nbme 3 (wayy underpredicts everyones score).

Don't know about the rest.

NBME 4 is a good place to start. I would pay for the extended feedback at this point.

I had heard that the UWSA is actually a better predictor of score than the NBMEs, so I did that one last.

I felt that both of those were good approximations to the real deal.

Good luck!
