Hello Sue,

I have heard 7 is the best diagnostic, 15 and 13 are the newest/most diffcult, and 11 and 12 are the most reflective of your actual score.

15 and 13 are crucial to take before the exam because you will see some questions that may be different from UWorld or have a different format than you are accustomed to.

However your overall score on 12 or 11 will likely be the most reflective of how you will do on exam day.

If you have some time, I'd do 13/15 sooner and save 11/12 for later.

ryLogue..where did you get this information from?

how do you know that 13 an 15 are not more indicative of your real score on exam day.

the test has become more challenging do you think that this is still accurate information that 11 and 12 are the closest to your exam??
please explain. my test is in 1 week and i would like to know.
