Why take NBME online tests?

I'm referring to the two online exams that are 4 blocks of 50 at $45 each. If you don't get to review the exam and you don't get answers, it seems like all you get out of it is reassurance that you're doing ok (or lack thereof) and feedback on which subjects you are weakest in (which I imagine I can figure out on my own). Other than that, it seems like a waste of 8 hours. Those of you who have taken it, did you get anything out of it other than reassurance?

Well I had just studied that today..and I still managed to get about half of the quote questions wrong! b/c I don't know the proper ****ing way to introduce myself to the patient....

I could have sworn it was "So Mr. sicko, I'm the head doc, Dr. Scooby - You better call me DOCTOR scooby...cuz if you try to just say scooby i'm gonna backhand you so hard ya jawz'll be layin on the flo' over there!"

Then the question about the patient who comes on to you ...I tihnk the answerin qbank must be wrong...

b/c the obvious answer is "Play hard to get at first, then tell her about the "special orgasm" on IV Diazepam where you cum and cum again but she won't remember jack ****."

Man...those questions just always mess me up...

Like the other one with the family wanting to save their father... I kept looking for the "I don't give a ****" answer, but when that coudln't be found, I thought I saw "Convene them all in a room and have them draw cards to determine which weapon of mass destruction they will get. They then are dealt their respective items, and last one standing makes the decision for dear old dad..."

AH yea...the joys of BS....
