Hey all, just wanted to solicit the thoughts of the masses... Anyways, I was wondering if anyone who had taken form 6 of the CCSSA (and subsequently their real deal Step 2 CK) found that their CCSSA significantly over predicted their real score. I ask just because I feel like I'm an average (maybe just right of the curve) student - but got what seems to be an unrealistic score on my first practice test (275). Hoping to do as well as I can - trying to match into EM but wanting to go to a top-shelf program if possible.

I've done well (not outstanding ~80s-90s) on my shelves through third year and have been getting about 85% of UW on my second pass (timed, all sections, random). Been doing DIT (Cpt. ADHD here, hate reading) and UW as my main studying for Step 2 (about a week and a half from today) - planning on taking another practice NBME this weekend.

In sum, any advice or recommendations? All suggestions would be appreciated.
