Low NBMEs as a DO student

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.

Dont waste time on combank until after your step.
