Took it nd got a 190. Exam 6 weeks away. I'm confused atm.
I don't have my results yet, but don't stress about it. With <5 weeks of studying, I ended up getting UWSA2 score of 254. And a week before that, UWSA1 score of 236. NBMEs are worthless for STEP 2 CK. BUT AGAIN, I don't have my score yet. So take my advice with a grain of salt. I'll update you when I get my score. For now, just keep studying.
I scored in the low 260s for CK and my NBME 7 was in the mid 230s 2.5 weeks before. My UWSA 1 and 2 were much more reflective of my actual score. I think it is well known that NBMEs, 7 in particular, under predict. If you take 6 or 8 and are still scoring well below your goal you may want to take a UWSA to get a better idea of where you stand.

i got a 224 on form 7 and a 255 on the real step 2, but to be fair i was not focused when i was taking form 7
To put everyone’s mind at ease.
NBME 7 = 185
STEP 2 CK = 243
Not stellar, but better than failing! I’m content. And you should be too if you see a jump like this within a few weeks.

248 NBME 7
254 UWSA 2
Real deal Step 2 CK: 254
254 UWSA 2
Real deal Step 2 CK: 254
At the end of the day, these are all loose predictions. How you do on real deal depends on your preparation for the next 5 weeks and how you continue to learn. Use these materials to learn and move on
Good luck!
Good luck!
How much time do you have? Do UW like a mad lad and you’ll be fine.
Which NBME?
