Hey guys,

Here's my stuff. I am taking the exam in 2 weeks. I've been studying FA 2012 like mad for the last 4 months. I did Doctors in Training. I finished the Kaplan Q bank. I have 20% left in World. I've been scoring in the low 70's thus far I took NBME 11 two days ago, got a 226. Four weeks ago, i did NBME 13 and got a 231 I did the USWA today, got a 236. I would like to get in the 240's-250s range. Does anyone have any advice? I feel like I've plateau'd. Thanks.

What are your weaknesses? What do your multiple score reports tell you your weaknesses are?

Reports are slightly different with each one unfortunately. For the UWSA (taken today), Biochem and genetics were in the lower, General Principles of Health and Disease, Respiratory, and Renal were in the lower. On the nbme, i got that coveted star for renal. So I'm confused. I'm starting to think this test is less about how much I know vs. psyching myself out. Thoughts?

Any reason why you want the 240 range? 230+ is pretty competitive for just about any specialty (even the super hard ones that everyone on here claims you need a 260 for).

Last 2 weeks you can't do much more than re-read First Aid, concentrate on weak points, while maintaining and integrating all the prior knowledge. At this point, I wouldn't add new sources. It's just gonna confuse things. Do as many 46 blocks on UWorld as you have time for.

Haha, never being satisfied leads to true unhappiness I guess. Idk, I look at the ones I got wrong, and I think WTF was I thinking. Time to slow down and think i guess.
