hi,
I took 3 NMBEs so far...i dunno if i should do the last one (form 2)..I'm kinda feeling good where i stand..but on form 4 i felt i was guessing 1/3 of the time!! it was an awful feeling but i ended up doing decent. Any input on the difficulty of form 4?
NMBE3: 530 (226) taken 2 months out
NMBE1: 660 (250) taken 2 weeks out
NMBE4: 620 (244) taken 1 week out...today!!! i'm kinda nervous cuz if the inconsistency...

With those NBME scores I think is better for you to postpone your test, because you might fail and if you pass it will be with a 182.

nbme1 is the easiest of the four forms. that would explain the slightly lower score on form 4. I would recommend doing form 2. It seems that form 2 and 3 are the closest thing to the exam. I have heard that form 3 is the hardest, while form 2 is the closest thing to the real test (this ofcourse is not always the case and there are always exceptions).
I wouldnt be worried about your scores. You should do very well.

Good luck.
