I would do # 4 the extended version..because then u could go over ur answers...n ull be surprised as to how many similar questions u might see on the actual exam...people always say this one's harder n that one's easier....who knows what type of exam ur gonna get on the actual day....i think all of them give pretty good indicators of what u know @ the pt in time where u take them...my advise...take #4 1st.....the extended version...where u can go over the wrong answers....n then go over u weak areas for 2 weeks...n take another one....n then go over the weak areas again for 2 weeks....ull get around the same score as the last NBME...or do even better...if u drop...it will be like no more than 10pts...but with that u have to take into account the actual test is 9 hours...so that has to measure in somewhere...

Thanks RR!
I'm taking the test in a week, so can't do the 2 week suggestion, but I like the idea of taking the 4th one and reviewing it, thanks!

So... form 4 actually gives you all your incorrect answers so you can review them? Just want to make sure before I spend $60 on it 😱

Hi,

I paid for the extended version, but then at the end couldn't see my wrong questions. How do you look at your wrong questions after you take the test???

thanks
