2.5 Weeks out...Is Rx worth doing?

I finished UWorld Last week (75% avg.) and Got a 247 on NBME 7 earlier this week. I haven't read FA so I'm thinking RX might be a good way to do that indirectly, but I'm wondering if it's the best use of my time at this point. I Still plan to do the remaining NBMEs (11-16), UWSAs, review UW notes and have a quick look at some random topics.

Would finishing RX (medium/hard questions) be beneficial?
I've done a few blocks so far and I've learned a few things, but I'm finding the "quirks" to be annoying.

I completed 50% of UsmleRx before starting my UWorld, and it has helped me make a 10% point gain, but I notice that I am losing a lot of the minutia that was tested on UsmleRx. So if you're having trouble with minutia, I would recommend doing UsmleRx. If not, doing a second time of UWorld may be more beneficial, though it depends on whether you're the type of person who remembers concepts or just the fact that you got the question wrong/ what the right answer is (I am in the latter category, so I don't think a second run through would be as helpful for me though I still plan on doing it).

You got 247 in NBME7 without doing FA? Only by doing UW? Are you IMG or AMG? Though usmleRX can be done in two week @250 questions/day but dont know how much you will retain. It's different for different people.

AMG...I did FC.
I'm starting to appreciate Rx a bit more now, I don't think I'll complete all of it though.

250 a day? I'm guessing that's not thoroughly reviewing explanations and annotating (well beyond that point I'm assuming).

If you're already finished Uworld, why would you annotate from Rx? lol

Reviewing answers/explanations was what I was getting at. But I'm glad you got a chuckle out of it Flamer
