Hi guys! I' m an IMG, I' ve being studying for 6 months, my self- assessment grades have being The following:
NBME 15 online and timed: 256
NBME 13 online and timed: 258
Usmle rx: 85% once using timed and tutor, subject wise and mixed q's
UWORLD: 84% twice, timed using mixed and subject wise
Kaplan q bank: 81% ( I' ve completed almost 70% of the q's) firts time, timed, mixed
I' m a week away from my exam, and I' m really hoping to get a grade above 260 on the real thing, is it possible? Which NBME should I do next 16, 17 or both? I' ve heard 17 is an under predictor and I don' t want it to break my spirits right before the test.
What do you guys think?

I think you are definitely in range to make it. Not sure which NBME you should do, as I plan to do them all in order. If you are looking for more of a confidence boost, perhaps try taking one of the UWSAs. I hear they are relatively correlative and tend to overpredict a bit, but at least you'll feel good going into the exam!

Best of luck, be sure to tell us how it is. 🙂

you're definitely within range of a 260. Relax and dont overwork yourself in this last week. you'll be fine. There's really no difference between 255 and 260 (except the ego boost, which doesn't matter in reality).

Go kill it!
