Step II Bombed NBME 2...

[colts]

I got a 185 on NBME 2 with less than 1 month of studying left...i went through MTB 2 and finished UWORLD once....

Is still possible for me to do well on this exam, like 220+ with 1 month of studying left?

US student?

What were you shelf scores? What's the break down on the practice test?

yea i'm a US student, shelf grades were 70s to low 80s...there was not expanded feedback, but pretty much need to work on all the sections 🙁

My first pass of uworld was 60%

I have seen people here report going from the 180's to the 250s in 2 months. Not sure what one month would bring you to.

You will obviously have to work very hard. If you have a crappy base a single review book isn't likely going to be 'enough.'

I'd suggest doing a second pass of uworld and typing up anything in the explanations you don't know. If you do 2 blocks of 45 a day it will likely take 7-8 hours total. Then going a DIT or kaplan course along side it.
