Just got done with UWSA 1 and got a 225 on it. That was hard as hell, I am usually good in Micro but I got my arse kicked in the mciro section on this UWSA.

I got a week left till my exam, and I have gone through Uworld with a first pass average of 59%, had done FA complete run through twice. So my goal is to atleast get above a 220, so what do you guys recommend I do this last week of studying.

I was think about doing another run of FA, listen to goljan, and glance over Goljans high yield info (does his High yield material still apply)..what you guys think?
 
do one more run thru FA, repeat incorrect UW questions, and maybe listen to a select few goljan audios at 1.5x
 
I'm in the same boat as you, sort of. But goal is 240.

I pulled a 232 or 234 on UWSA #1, and I don't really know what to make of that. Does it over-estimate? Does it under-estimate? My testing conditions weren't the best either.

I've done two passes through UWorld. The first was 45% (without studying anything). The second was 79%.

I'm about 75% done with USMLE Rx, going by subject, and it is predicting a 240.

I'm about 30% through Kaplan, and it is predicting in the high 230's.

I have done DIT, but I have yet to read through FA. I'm doing that now.

At the very least, I want to maintain my 232 or whatever I got. I have a very beautifully and thoroughly annotated FA that I'm using, and I really just want to buckle down and address my weaknesses, while not losing any ground overall anywhere else. Regressing is my biggest fear.
