Hey guys,
I'm taking my Step in end of June and just wanted to know how much increase in score one can realistically expect with solid 9wks of studying? I am starting out with a baseline of barely near passing as assessed by two NBMEs (185, 188) and really want to know if its possible to do 240+. I'm capable of putting solid 8hrs a day (with breaks ~10hrs) but not sure if I'm having realistic goals. Any suggesstions witll be awesome especially from those who have been through this before. My main sources are First Aid, UWorld, Goljan, Pathoma and USMLERx (haven't been doing much of this). I definitely plan on taking more NBMEs but now it'll be after a good month of studying.
