Take NBME 3 IS SUPPOSE to be the hardest
if you scor e above 450 you will pass the exam

Hey. not much time,

I think u should go for NBME now because u should have sufficient time to put more stress on ur weak areas, as shown by NBME, and study also ur strong ones.
GOGETA is right the toughest is NBME-3 but as many peoples say that NBME-2 is very close to exam. I mean to say score in NBME-2 is closer to the real exam score.

My exam is also in start of August.

If the only option is due to time limit, you should repeat Kaplan notes.

If a little more time, NBME 2 is another plus.
