Need advice...

Hey guys. I am really hoping to get some advice here on what I should do. I am less than 2 weeks from my step 1, and I am very frustrated, discouraged, and down

school NBME (2.5 months out): 190
NBME 16 (5 weeks out): 210
UWSA #1 (4 weeks out): 238
UWSA #2 (3 weeks out): 232
---Finish UWorld 1st pass: 66%----
NBME #18 (2 weeks out): 226

As you can see, the trend is not looking very good. Also want to mention how many careless mistakes I made on the most recent mock (questions I 100% knew and should have gotten right, ). In some ways, I think maybe my brain is burning out studying 12 hours a day. Because I definitely know more now than I did 2 weeks ago, but my scores are not reflecting that. I am just very discouraged and I am really starting to panic.

My goal is 240 (but really I'll be happy with a 235+). How should I go about studying from now until my test? I finished UWorld, been reading FA, pathoma, and sketchy. I am hoping to get through another round of FA and, pathoma and do 2 more NBMEs before my test day + do as much as I can through UWorld 2nd pass.

Any advice or words of encouragements will be greatly appreciated!

GIVE YOUR BRAIN A BREAK!
You don't practice for a marathon by running 12 marathons a month before the real thing do you? Honestly if I were in your shoes, I'd go through FA and uworld as much as possible for the next 2 weeks.
Hope you ace your exam!
