Should I feel confident to pass STEP 1?

[nebuchadnezzarII]

My exam is on 6/19 (5 days from now). I took NBME 17 two weeks ago and got a 200. (I did the bulk of UWorld after this). I took NBME 16 today and got a 225.

I plan to study some of my weak points from now until test day. My goal is to simply pass. I'm happy with a 194. Is my 225 on NBME 16 enough to be confident with, moving forward?

You should be good just to pass, but try free 120 - it's quick and will confirm where you stand.

What should I aim to get on the free 120?

I would say 80%+

You will definitely pass, my guess is your score will be 225-235

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

Just to update, I took UWSA-2 and got 220. I heard everything from this overestimating to accurately predicting. Hopefully, if it does overestimate, it's not by more than 20!

Last update to close off this saga so future test-takers can get some hope. I got a 234 on the real deal. I don't know how...but it happened! Thank you all.
