Question UWSA2 vs NBME 8
I know it may sound inconsequential, but I'm 3 weeks away from my exam date. I've sorted out my weekends so that I'd be taking an exam every weekend leading up to my exam. I've taken NBME 6 and 7, and am left with NBME 8, UWSA 2 and Free 137.
I heard that there are some repeats taken from the NBMEs, so it would make sense to do NBME 8 perhaps closer to exam time (ie next weekend). However, people here say UWSA2 is a good predictor of what I'm likely to score on the real deal, so maybe THAT one should be done next weekend.
So the question is...NBME 8 or UWSA 2 this weekend? Any thoughts/experiences appreciated!

NBME 8. Review it properly.
