NBME exam order during step2ck prep?

[tj_11x3]

I know people feel that certain forms are harder, less/more accurate, give better assessments, or correlate more with the actual exam, etc. My primary goal is to help guide my studies. For those that have taken the nbme exams, do you rec any order to take the exams? Or does order even matter? Can I rely on at least the accuracy of the strengths/weakness assessments?

Some people have claimed that some forms of the mini tests are harder than others, but there's consenses regarding which order to take the tests in (besides numerical order). There has been wide fluctuation with how accurate the NBME mini tests were in predicting one's Step 2 score. Some were dead on, others were way off. The good news is that, of the NBME mini tests that were in-accurate, more of them underestimated peoples' scores (and underestimated them by larger amounts) than overestimated!
