How reliable is the NBME breakdown of your weak areas? I've taken a few and they don't match UW nor my subjective opinion at all. Which should I use to assess what my weakest areas are? For example, my biochem on UW is one of my lowest but somehow it's consistently high on the NBME. And I feel that I'm horrible at biochem

Havent taken STEP1 yet. But I also feel the same. For example, Inmunology, one of my weakest areas, (I skipped it, so its not even a subjective feeling of weak, its a BLACKHOLE in my knowledge). I have low average scores in Uworld and Rx, and on NBME its high. I would suggest doing a few more NBME's. It might be that on that NBME you took, you got lucky. But as far as general opinion goes, NBME's are the best on predicting your score.
Im catching up on inmuno btw 😛
