Low NBMEs as a DO student

[CaffeineStat]

Hey Folks

DO student here planning to take Step and COMLEX. My step is in 2 weeks and I’m still scoring low on NBMEs. NBME 28~200. I’ve been studying SO much so it’s obviously soul crushing. Anyway, I finished Uworld, redoing my incorrects and on track to finishing COMBANK. I’m very much considering cancelling my Step since I’m nervous and I won’t pass or at least not score high at all. What are y’all’s thoughts?
Hoping for EM or OB.

Edit: I took UW2 and scored 230. I'm going to go ahead and sit for Step!

Have you taken either of the UW self-assessments?

NBMEs has a tendency to underpredict by 10-20 points usually.

I took UW1 at the beginning of dedicated and got a 194 but that was nearly 10 weeks ago. The plan is to take UW2 tomorrow (10 days out from my test) and go from there.
