I have 5 weeks for my dedicated study period. My most recent NBME (CBSE?) in March was the equivalent of a 215 on step 1. Not sure if that's what I should be using as a baseline score or not, but I'm aiming to get >230 on the real thing.
I'm having a hard time deciding what to do for dedicated. I've done a full pass of UWORLD, pathoma, sketchy micro, and I used boards and beyond extensively throughout M2. I've also been using the Zanki deck since it came out.
My tentative plan was to take a baseline NBME before dedicated and then take 3 more during dedicated to track myself. I was also going to be going through another full pass of UWORLD. Still not sure when/if I'll do the UWORLD self assessments.
Can anyone tell me:
1. Should I trust the CBSE score from March as a baseline score?
2. Which NBME should I use before dedicated for a baseline and which ones should I do during dedicated?
3. Any suggestions on when to do UWORLD self assessments?
4. Besides UWORLD and keeping up with zanki, how should I focus my time during dedicated? I've never been very good at passively reading FA so should I rewatch all of pathoma plus high yield sections of boards and beyond? (Cardio, pulm, GI, renal)
Thank you in advance!
