For those who did uworld twice, what was your first NBME like?

Just started dedicated with 5 weeks to go. Started uworld back in Jan and finished with around 63%. Took NBME 13 today and got a 232 (87.5% correct), when I was hoping that I'd be 240+ at this point. I thought I got a lot out of uworld my first time around but maybe not as much as I thought. Went over the test and made a few stupid mistakes.

I've gone through FA once, pathoma and sketchy more than once. Hoping my 2nd pass through uworld will fine tune my test taking abilities.

Just curious if I'm on the right track. Always been a poor test taker..

You definitely are on the right track! This is a great score for a first NBME. You will learn new things as you're going through your second pass of UWorld and your grade will improve with time.

How the hell does a 87.5% = 232? My brother took 13 last year and missed 28
and got a 242...

Sorry, it was actually 86.5% or 27 incorrects, but still. The questions were definitely a little more straightforward than uworld, and maybe they change the curve every year to reflect the difficulty?
