USMLE 155 on first NBME..super demoralized

[lolthrowthis]

Just started dedicated. 10 weeks max. I knew I wasnt in the top half of the class or anything but this is just sad. When I started M2 I had hoped for a 240s score. Obviously thats just stupid at this point. Im working on FA by going thru Boards and Beyond to strenthen my foundation. Will do UFAP+Sketchy. 1/3 thru uWorld and scoring 45-50%.

Any tips on what I should focus on (doing more FA passes etc) and what a realistic score may be? Thanks

It seems you need to strengthen your foundation before considering doing more passes of FA. I would suggest doing Boards and Beyond more thoroughly.

Have you done Pathoma?
Yeah one thing my path to Step did for me was lower my expectations. I scored 181 on my 1st NBME and 219 on the real deal 2 months later.
