Hello everyone,

My exam is in 2 weeks and I'm looking for any advice regarding studying, test-taking, time management, etc. to boost my score.

My current study plan:
- Just finished 1st pass through UW. Going to reset it and aim to keep doing 4 blocks/day until test date
- targeted review of concepts that I keep getting wrong (using OME, other online videos, FA)
- Will take 2 more NBMEs and a UWSA
- Anki flashcards

Current practice scores:
Form 7 (last week) - 181
UWSA 1 (this week) - 215

The problems that I'm coming across and how I am attempting to fix them:
- test anxiety and concentration - trying to remain calm and refocus between blocks
- stamina - doing 2 UW randomized blocks back-to-back to increase focus, will start doing 3 blocks
- content gaps - reviewing those specific topics through online videos, OME and revisiting FA step1. Should I do a system-by-system comprehensive review instead followed by UW blocks by topic?
- test-taking strategy - I'm noticing patterns as I go through my UW incorrects and trying to learn from them. Any other online resources that I can look through?

Very stressed and anxious right now. Thank you for any advice!
