Hi all

So I have about a month left to study for STEP. I took our schools CBSE last week and got an 83 which is 230-235. I am aiming for around 250. I am about 20% done with UWORLD and scoring 82%. So I was wondering is it a better idea to try to get through UWORLD twice meaning doing 4 sections a day? Or get through it once and try to finish all the NBMEs?

Thanks
 
UWorld twice in a month sounds like overkill, and in such close proximity you'd probably remember a lot of questions. I would do all of UWorld once, review answers thoroughly, and work through the NBMEs. Scoring 82% (even on just 20% of UWorld) is really good, so I don't think there's any need to do it twice.

I agree. I did my incorrects after a 6 week gap and could still remember half the questions. Do more new questions - the only that seems to correlate with higher test scores.
