Need advice.. should I delay my exam?

Members don't see this ad.

So I'm currently scheduled to take the beast next Wed but I need some advice... I'm aiming for 240+ but I took NBME 7 last week and got a 216 and NBME 6 this week and got a 225... the thing is I went through UW first time and had a 71% and am about 300Qs deep the second go around and have a 88%..

So I'm debating whether I should delay the exam? I've read that NBME6/7 are very predictive of what I'd get on the real deal but considering I'm no where near my goal should I delay it?

For now I've kind of just been reviewing FA and planning on watching Kaplan Path vids Sun/Mon and review the RR side notes on Mon/Tues... what do u guys think?

maybe try a UWorld assessment before postponing?

How do you go through UWorld? With an average like that, you clearly don't have a lapse in your knowledge base. Maybe you need to practice timed banks of questions. I'd agree with the poster above, that you should take a couple more assessments.

I go through UWorld Timed... 48Qs at a time.. I actually just started doing that after doing my first NBME.. before that I was doing em in tutor mode..

Yea I'm considering doing a UWorld assessment.. possibly tomorrow..

Anyone else have similar experiences? Having a decent UWorld score but not having great NBME scores?

So I went through UWorld Assessment #1.. got a 238.. so at least its a step in the right direction.. if I can get a score remotely around there I would be ecstatic.. what do you guys think.. is UWorld a good indicator of how I'll do.. should I stick w my original date?
