We know nbmes throw mostly throw 1-2 liners at you and uwsa atleast makes it reasonable in length. As far as content/concepts being tested, which one is better? Anyone????
They're both good score estimators, btw. I took nbme 3 and uwsa and got the exact same 3 digit estimation!

Hey dr_step2ck
Im going to assume the concepts/contents are neither similar to nbme nor uwsa, but similar to UW. Hundreds of posters from three different active forums can't be wrong.
Just trying to figure out which one to study/focus on ON TOP of uw in the last couple of weeks before my exam. I am leaning toward UWSA. I don't recall anyone saying the exam was similar to NBME (aside from its incredible predictive powers).
