how do 6 and 7 compare to 11 and 12 with respect to difficulty? also which nbme was most similar to your exam? Thanks.

NBME forms to take before exam in the order of preference

Forms 11 and 12> Form 7> Form 6

should I take nbme 6 after my first FA pass to measure where I'm terrible at? or do you guys recommend I take a different one? I still have several months to go until my test date.

I'm not gonna start a brand new thread, but I basically have the same question as the OP. I've done UWSA 1 & 2, scoring high 250's on both. I have 2.5 weeks till exam day. I see people recommending 11 & 12 over 6 & 7, and that 6 & 7 seemed to have some questions from the real exam.

Questions:
1) Which correlates best out of those four with the real one?
2) Is it worthwhile to get the expanded feedback?
3) Do 12 & 11 have some of the "actual questions" that people are referring to?

I'm leaning toward doing #12 and then #7. Comments?

Somewhat unrelated note: all the blocks in UWSA, I managed to finish comfortably with over 15 minutes left. Is this about the same as what I should expect in the NBME blocks?
