5/29 NBME 15: 190
6/09 COMSAE E: 550 (doesn't matter here tho)
6/23 NBME 19: 200
UWorld Average: 59% (85% complete)

I take my USMLE in 2 weeks and plan on taking 3-4 more practice tests (16,17,18). Realistically I want to at least hit a 220. I'm mostly interested in EM. I have just a few questions.
  1. Is taking 3-4 tests too much in a 2 week time frame?
  2. Should I consider adding UWAS2 as my last exam I take before the real deal?
Any other advice would be really helpful at this point. Continue or abandon ship. My plan is to go hard these next 2 weeks and decide whether or not to take it on a last minute basis, based on my last NBME, UWAS2, or the average.

I don't think 3-4 test is too much in that timeframe. However, it doesn't really address your underlying problem. Why are you getting lower scores than you'd like?
