A little bummed about NBMEs

[OlafsPotato]

I just took nbme 16 and got a pretty meh 228ish, even though I had a 235 on UWSA1 2 weeks ago. I have less than 6 weeks before my actually exam and it feels like I’m going backward. I’ve barely touched Uworld (trying to do all of pathoma and burn through some Rx before my subscription runs out). My goal is a 290 because I have no interest in competitive fields but I have an extremely fragile ego.

1) how much improvement could I really get in 6 weeks?
2) is it normal to not see any improvement in 2 weeks (it seemed like I’m doing worse)

A 228 on NBME 16 is better than a 235 on UWSA1

Yeah you haven't gone backward at all. A 235 on UWSA1 probably equates to 220ish on NBME 16. W
