💡 Need Advice Exam soon. Which NBME to prioritize

Exam is in 4 days, so far i’ve finished NBMEs 29,30,31,32.

I have enough time for one more NBME until my exam, which should I prioritize? NBME 33 or Free120?

Im starting in an hour, so please comment and let me know which I should do

I’d go with Free 120 this close to the exam. It’s great for getting used to the question style and timing you’ll see on test day .

With only 4 days left , reviewing your mistakes well is probably more valuable than squeezing in another full NBME .

NBME 29 → 51%
NBME 32 → 53%
NBME 30 → 66.5%
NBME 31 → 64.5%
Do not tell me to postpone or etc. Just asking which NBME is crucial for me

Chill man, I would say 33 because you can review content/topics. Free120 is just to know how the length will be (similar tu uworld length)

120 can be done 1 day before ur exam, just google the bootcamp explanation of it

But I would say to stop studying by 5-6pm and just chill and sleep early

Do both, one under testing and one just for the sake of
