Hey guys,
I'm not a super brilliant student like most of you are and I'm the worst test-taker ever, and I need your advice. I'm averaging 63% on uworld second pass (1st pass was between 50-55%), and took NBME4 2 weeks ago and got 209. Since that I've been doing uworld and reviewing notes I made from uworld. Do you think I can pass? I'm really just looking to pass, since I am just considering FM or Psych, nothing too competitive...
Thanks!

Thank you for your reply! I will do so, in the next few days I have left. Except I had already taken UWSA a few weeks back and barely passed. I hope that studying more after UWSA means I should pass now. I am planning on taking the free questions from the USMLE website. Do you know what percentage would correspond to a passing score?

I dug hard in a lot of threads on the internet. I can't recall anyone recalling posting a percentage below 78%. And the dude who got 78% right got 226 I think? Just GUESSING here, but maybe 75%?
