New NBME?

Today a friend told me that there is a new NBME? or lets say NBME 5

That is totally new for me, who has taken that NBME?
Is it hard, easy the same, etc?

yeah it's been out for at least a few weeks now, there might even be an nbme6 as well?

but you can't buy them, your med school has to buy it for you and give you a token or a voucher or whatever it's called and you use that voucher code to excess it. so I guess only US med students are using it, i doubt other schools buy that sort of stuff for their students.

based on the people at the sdn forum nbme 5 is supposed to be pretty easy, or at least much easier than 4. and nbme 6 still can't be bought by the general public, but i am sure it will soon be available.

yeah nbme 5 is pretty easy... i just took it and got 630/245... it seemed really straight forward like 2 calculations q's both biostat related. I hope the real exam is like that..

I am going to take nbme3 tomorrow hopefully i'll get the same grade.

Now let me think
You got a 630/245 in NBME5 but
you got a 550/230 in NBME3.

Any way those numbers are very impressive
Minimum you will get a 235 on your test.

those are really great marks russianjoo, looks like you're ready. just out of curiosity, how did you study anatomy for the step? i've studied everything else, but anatomy just depresses me....thanks for your help.
