Hey everyone-
I am a long time lurker and have been using SDN for USMLE prep info and found it helpful, so now I'm hoping that I can get some advice.
My test is on July 21st, and I've been studying for about a month and a half. I started out not even passing on practice tests, and my UWorld averages were in the low 40s but have since come up to the high 50s and low 60s. I have taken two NBME's a month apart (first of June and yesterday), and got 180 and 200, respectively. I also took a UWorld assessment about 2 or so weeks ago and got 200 as well.
Then I took the free 150 around the same time and got 75%, which is apparently around a 220 ... so wtf???
I would be ecstatic with a 220-something, but now thinking that's unrealistic with only 2 weeks left and am now even worried about failing if I happen to get an exam that is heavy on my weaker subjects.
I have gone through FA once, annotating from Goljan and other review books. I also go thru World explanations and annotate things in that i don't know. Just getting really frustrated that what I'm doing doesn't seem to be working.
What would you recommend I do at this point?
