Hey,

So I just took a UWSA and scored a meager 216! I wasn't very pleased with this score and am wondering what you guys think i could do to bump it up to a 230 by test day, if that is at all possible?

I finished UW X1 = 68%.

My current plan is to go over the UWSA, hit up my weaknesses in SUS2/Secrets and redo all the wrong UW questions. Then do either NBME 2/4 next week. Anything else you guys would recommend?

thanks!

I think Secrets is a good option for last-minute high-yield review. I also like MTB for 2CK... it's thicker and bigger, but it's an easy read.

You might also want to consider the new Kaplan 2CK High-Yield program. It's 45 hours, so you could probably cover it in a week if you don't have rotations during the day. I thought that the Step 1 version was pretty useful, but I haven't started the 2CK one, so I'm not sure whether or not it's good.

Stick to the gameplan - keep it simple and don't do anything drastic. With 8 days to go, I would hit UWorld hard and stick with something basic like secrets to compliment it. You'll have a better idea where you stand after your next NBME.

Yeah, that's a good point - considering that you have a good UW average, I think that it's perfectly reasonable to expect a 230 with just some rest and relaxation. I'm guessing your UWSA score was an aberration.

Of course, I'm assuming that you did UW in random mode with no cheating.
