Hi
I'm in kinda of a dilemma.
Taking Step 2 on monday. Still have 13 blocks left of UW. AVG about 64, random.
My question is shoudl I take an NBME within the next two days or no? I dont want to freak myself out either.
Secondly, shoudl I finish the last 13 blocks and review them all (it takes me forever to review one block) or focus and reinforce the material I already know...Any suggestions?

Thanks in avance!

I'm your average student - and I do mean average - student, so take this for what it's worth:

1) If you're going to take an NBME, today (Thursday) would be the day to do it. That way you can see where you stand and review what you need to review. If you haven't taken it before, then I don't know how you will gauge it's accuracy for you in terms of predicting your score. For me, NBME has been pretty much dead on - see, I told you I was average!

2) If you are not going to take NBME, I would finish whatever USMLEWorld blocks I could finish today and then that would be the end of it. From then on, it's all about reviewing areas where you are weak. It does no good to learn new information if you haven't owned the previous information.

I generally took the last 2-3 days before Step I and II to review. I think that pays off more dividends than trying to learn new info at that point.
