Freaking out here. Just took UWSA#2 last night and scored a 206 on it. My test is May 18th. My progression has been like this

UWSA#1- 192 5 weeks ago
NBME 6- 212- 3 weeks ago
Free NBME 150- 224 about 10 days ago

Then came the test last night. Felt the exam was weird, no ethics, like 1 biostats, little neuro, tons of biochem/molec/genetics. I figured i was on a good pace to push my score into the 235+ range in the next 2 weeks which is what my goal was. Im kind of at a loss of what to do right now. Was planning on taking NBME 7 on sunday as the last one before my exam. Any suggestions. I followed Taus plan, so i have a totally marked up FA, RR etc. thansk

you have 13 days, why not work on your weak areas for about 5 days then take nbme 7 and see how that goes. Then work your way through your FA one more time then see if you can get another nbme in before your test. good luck
 
listen to goljan at 2X and finish him in 2 days....study biochemistry, genetics and all the crap you have to memorize instead of learn for the next 4 days...do goljam again if want to...do qbank questions specific to what you tripped up on...assess urself after a week...then go over last minute details and you're set

you're at the endurance phase..it's good you took this exam kinda early 2 weeks out because you can do something about it...don't let the next exam trip you up if you don't do good...keep learning and hopefully you'll peak on test day
 
I agree with njmeds above.I would do goljan audio notes( there are some floating around, will be faster than listenin in), RR, BRS Phys and FA with special focus on weak areas.

If you wanna wind it down, make sure you do the RR and FA first priority.

Take cue from your test and pulverize your weak areas, I am pretty ******ed in genetics/molebio and biochem too and I am remediating this with a single day run through with HY Molebio and biochem kaplan for the unclear areas.

Hold your chin up buddy and you should benefit from the weak section review.This comes from someone who got a decent CBSE score and just got thrashed on NBME 6 😳 I am working on my weak areas and 'seem' to be making progress.
 
Thanks for the advice, everything was moving along very smoothly, and then boom with UWSA. will take the advice. Already spent yesterday on renal/urinary which i got hammered on, today moving one. thanks
