I would personally take NBME 18 or UWSA 2 and see if i can get 215+. Even 210+. If I do, then I would take and move on with my life.

We need more context. If you've been studying for 3 weeks, then you're not giving yourself a chance. But if you've been studying for 7 weeks, then you may just be where you're going to score.

I don't see how anybody would think you took a leave of absence and not just a research year if you did research afterward. If you can afford the year, and you actually expect to improve your step 1 score then it's an option.
