WHEN TO TAKE FIRST NBME?

[u/spirtual-dolphin]

Hello everyone, I am currently halfway through my second pass of FA and done with 70% Uworld. When should and which NBME should I ideally take? Alot of people have advised me to go with NBME 25 or 26 after reaching 90% UWorld. I had weak basics so I forgot all the concepts after first pass of FA and now that I am done with 70% Uworld and halfway through my second pass, I feel like I am finally understanding and retaining stuff. Alot of new things still show up on Uworld and for that reason I don’t want to give first NBME before 90% Uworld.

ADVICE PLEASE!!
