Here is my situation: I finished this in 4 weeks:
1st pass through FA, Pathoma and UW system wise(overall average 60%) and USMLE RX system wise 48% done ( overall average 66%). Took NBME 16 and scored 200.
Then 3 weeks break in step studying because of some personal situation. To check if I still remember stuff without any studying for 3 weeks, I took NBME 15 two weeks ago and scored only 194.
Reset UW two weeks ago and doing random/ untimed/ tutor mode 2 blocks/day, almost done with second pass of FA (still need to review Endo/ Repro) but have not touched Pathoma for second pass yet and USMLE RX is also only 48% done. My overall average for 2nd pass of UW is 71% so far (35% done). The lowest scores are in Histology (59%), Pathology(63%), Pathophysiology (63%) and Pharmacology (67%).
Planning to take another NBME in a week and then a few more in the coming weeks. Taking step 1 in 3 weeks. Do you think I can manage to get a score close to 230? I am really worried about Pathology, Pathophysiology and Pharmacology as the UW averages are not that good so far. I am a fast reader and am usually done with a block of questions with 10-15 minutes early. Please suggest what should I do to achieve my goal.
Thanks!
