So I was scheduled for my USMLE on June 26th but I took NBME 12 today and got a 200 so I think I am going to move it back. I have gone through UWorld once and working on my incorrects but admittedly this took me 3 months with classes and I didn't review as thoroughly as I should have. I am also using Picmonic, Pathoma, and FA a little. I am a DO student so I think I am going to move the USMLE to the end of July. My question is, should I try for 200 questions per day average on just uworld? Should I add a different resource? I also use anki and make quite a bit of cards for high yield items I am weak on. I am curious if there is something else I should focus on do add depth, or should I just try to hammer through UWorld as many times as I can?

Main problem is the bold part. Might want to read the #1 source of content knowledge more.....😉
 
I guess I should clarify that I have read through it once well, once moderately well over time, and have been using it as a reference lately. Been focusing on it less in order to get more from questions. Swap that?

If you are only around a 200, then you do not have the content knowledge. Once you get over 240 then focus on questions and other stuff. You need to understand the stuff in UW also but FA and Pathoma are the base of knowledge and if you happen to see you really suck in a particular area then supplement it with another source.
