Step I 177 on NBME6

[TheMaestro]

Just got a 177 on NBME6. I'm pretty disappointed. I still have to finish my second run through but I was at least hoping to PASS! Its weird because I thought I was going to do relatively well on it because I had only been doing UWorld up to this point.

Anyways, I have about 10ish days till my exam. I know this sounds crazy but do you think with a lot of hard work and cramming I can bump that score up alot? My goal originally was in the 230s but now IDK .... :-/

Im seriously considering not taking the exam right now and taking it during my rotations because my school allows that.

Thanks.

If you school allows it, then you should def push it back till your scoring atleast a 210 on NBMEs so your not in danger of failing.

If you are serious about your goal of 230, i would most definitely recommend postponing your exam. I would say 10 hard days of work can improve your score a lot. But its going to take more than 10 days to improve by 50 points
