I would really appreciate some opinions… Anxiety level: 105/100
My step1 exam is scheduled for tuesday (4 days from now)
I did Kaplan q bank about 2 mo. ago --- 80% completed all random, timed, got 72% correct
halfway through u world, took nbme 12 and scored 540 (231)
u world -100% completed, all random, timed- 77%
nbme 15 two days ago- 530 - (234)!!!! - after 5 wks of hard work!
just took uwsa 2 and scored 700 (256)
I know nbmes are supposed to be more accurate predicting actual score, but they don't seem to correlate with my other numbers…
Now I don't know if I should take the exam in 4 days or postpone it for a couple of weeks, not even sure if its going to make any difference!
Is that 256 uwsa an overshoot?
any thoughts??

Depends on your desired score but I'll rather believe NBMEs scores than anything else.
Regarding postponing-It's your call since only you know if there is room for improvement.

Thank you for replying!! I already moved the date, I'm giving myself another month to try to improve those scores (would hate myself if I didn't at least try) hopefully everything works as expected… any advise on how to rise my performance to 260ish in a month?? is it too much to ask for??

Find out your weak areas from QBanks/UWSA/NBME performance profile and work on them.
Also consider doing USMLERx with FA.
