I'm taking CK in four days.

I have 300 questions left on Kaplan and 500 left on UWorld. My averages are 70% UWorld and 65% Kaplan, first time through. My averages for the last week are 70-80% on both.

My first self-assessment was NBME 4 about four weeks ago, and I scored a 233. My second self-assessment was UWSA last week and I scored a 253.

My Step 1 was poor at 200+, and I'm hoping for significant improvement. I'm more than a little anxious about this.

At this point, I am wondering how best to structure my time. Should I finish Kaplan? UWorld? Both? Or should I focus on repeating incorrect questions from one or the other or both Q-banks? Should I take another assessment, and if so, which one?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would do the questions in UWorld that you haven't done yet and put Kaplan on the back burner. If you find yourself with extra time you could go back through incorrects on UWorld. Good luck!
 
Finish all of UWorld, review it as much as you can. Unless you have specific sections you feel like you still need to read in a review book, focus on UWorld. I wouldn't do anymore kaplan questions.
 
Thanks for the replies guys, I appreciate it.

I will go ahead and get through UWorld and then start reviewing incorrect questions.
