Hey guys, looking for some advice for how to maximize my study time until my June 13th COMLEX date. I am also taking USMLE on June 21st.

I am admittedly a novice in terms of exam prep strategy and have limited knowledge of various prep materials. I have up to this point almost completed the Boards Boot Camp program provided by our school as my only prep until now. I have FA and Pathoma, but have rarely used them. I also have done a few hundred COMBANK questions. I have taken COMSAE form E and the COMBANK assessment test (4 hours/200 questions). I took the COMSAE in March before committed study and scored a 518. I took the COMBANK test last week and they predicted a COMLEX score in the 78th percentile.

My question, then, is how can I best utilize the time I have left to score the best I can? If I'm capable of scoring mid to high 500s now, what can I do to push it over 600? My plan is to wrap up BBC and do as many questions as possible, with a month UWORLD subscription as my primary qbank and COMBANK for COMLEX specific subjects, as well as try to get through as much of FA as possible.

Any help/opinions would be great,

Thanks

The two things I found most useful in increasing my score performance on questions banks and increasing score on each step were the following:
1. Aim your brain for the USMLE book
Basically uses the principle of you don't know what you don't know. Advised answering questions then making a book of wrong answers explanations with space to fill in from resources. Review book before each question session
2. How to study for standardized tests (i think) it is by Selflick
Teaches you tricks to making educated guesses and strategies for test taking
