taking STEP II in exactly two weeks, and not sure if I'm ready...
-231 on STEP I, applying to EM
-performance: 50% complete with UW w/ last random full lengths being: 69, 65, 65, 60, 67, 71, 69, 67, 65, 69, 56, 69, 54, 69
UW avg = 63%, avg of last 6 exams = 66 %
-strategy: annotating Crush with explanations from UW (but going at a snail's pace)
-goal: match my STEP I score; finish UW and read Crush 1x after annotating
Is this unrealistic?
Thanks!
 
Based on how others have done on UW compared to CK I'd say your practice scores are consistent with ~230. good luck

agree- take a couple practice NBMEs to just get the stamina and mojo down. And you shoud rock it. Remember it's a long test- so pace yourself well and hydrate/bring food. Can't stress this enough. Also remember that unlike step 1, this is stuff that will come more intutionally so don't read too much into the question. I found that there were far fewer questions that were trying to trip ya up with.
