Hello everyone,
My step 1 is in 1 week and i want to know if i should go ahead or postpone it.

Uw qbank- 58%
Uwsa 2- 214
Nbme 7- 360

I was planning to take another nbme and go through fa and and missed ques again! But should i postpone it or are the scores pretty accurate?
Thanks

360 is an approximate 3-digit score of 189. maybe you should take a newer NBME to see where you stand and decide what to do based on your priorities and target score.

good luck 🙂

NMBE 7 is one of the more accurate ones that people use a lot. I would recommend delaying, 189 you can go up or down, too close to failing.

good luck

I don't know if you should take it even if you score better on another one, unless you blow it out of the water. You don't want to take the chance of failing - 189 is very close - if on the actual exam there happens to be a slightly higher proportion on the subjects you're weak on and you fail, it can have a tremendous affect on your future plans. That's a big risk. If at all possible, I wold wait until you are consistently beating the minimum passing score by 10+ points.

If you check the scores thread, the most recent poster's final score notably deviated substantially from NBME7.
