Hey guys, need some quick advice!

Step 2 CK is on Friday
Been studying ~12 hrs/day for ~2.5 weeks, finished 2nd half of UW (~%70) left over from 3rd year

NBME 6 - 207 (took at beginning of month in a terrible state of mind -- thinking I failed CS the day before)
UWSA - 228 (1 week ago)

1) I'd really like to be able to take and pass this thing on Friday, how confident can I be going into it?

2) how bad of an idea would it be to take an NBME practice exam tomorrow the day before the real deal? I know it is a terrible idea but seeing a pass score from an NBME might be the only thing that will settle my nerves at this point.

Very much appreciate any response!

In my opinion, no. Don't do it. Either have faith that you're ready, or postpone. If you take the NBME, do bad, and go forward anyways, that's gonna mess with your mind. Last day should be just reviewing some stuff that gives you mental peace. Honestly, nothing you do the day before will help much, but you can hurt yourself with a poor practice test. But that's just my thinking.... Best of luck to you regardless. Hoping you do well on the real deal.
