Hi! I'm an IMG prepping for Step 1 (3 weeks out) and I've covered 75% of the questions in UWORLD. My current average is 70% with my most recent blocks all mid 70s and low 80s and I started off with 50s and 60s. I can't seem to stay do away with the 70s and be well into the 80s and even hit the 90s. I feel like I should be getting higher % on my UWORLD blocks by now. I've done the following NBMEs :
NMBE 21 (baseline) - 190
NMBE 23 - 215
NBME 25 - 225
I've gone through FA, Pathoma and Sketchy micro twice and I made my own cue cards especially of my incorrects.
I'm aiming for at least a 245 (ideally 250+) and I'm hoping that my next NBME at least gets my into the 230's. Has anyone had similar scores in their UWORLD Q blocks and what scores did you get on the real thing? I'm trying to cover my weaknesses like biochem and genetics but I feel like as soon as I improve one section, I fall in the others and it's so frustrating! Do you think 250+ is feasible to reach within the next 3 weeks or should I push back my exam date? Helppp!
