19 days out, scoring 64% on NBME — need advice to get to 70
Hi everyone,
I'm 19 days out from Step 1 and just scored 64% on NBME 31 under real exam conditions. Previous NBMEs were 62% and 65%.
My situation:
Dedicated since January
Have a baby at home
Pathoma complete
UWorld 60% complete (I have pharm, gi, infectious disease left), 66% average
Sketchy Micro/Pharm partial
Weak areas: Neuro, Pharm, GI, Biochem
What I've used:
UWorld, Amboss
Pathoma
Sketchy
Dirty Medicine
Anki Duke Pathoma
My goal:
Two NBMEs above 70 for school requirement. Need to get from 64 → 70 in 19 days.
My questions:
What's the highest yield thing to focus on in the final 19 days?
Is completing remaining UWorld systems worth it or should I do mixed blocks?
Any advice for someone who struggles with test anxiety?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks 🙏
