I'm scheduled to take Step 1 on Feb 11th, but I'm wondering if it's even worth it to study until then.
I'm going to finish UWorld first pass in the next few days with a 72%. I took USMLE 19 about 2 weeks ago and scored a 236 (before any dedicated study). I'm not interested in any of the ultra-competitive specialties-- mostly interested in EM, Anesthesiology, Gen surg, and IM subspecialties. The student development advisors at my school think I should be reasonably shooting for a 255ish.
I know this sounds crazy, but should I reschedule Step 1 for the next couple weeks and take the next month off? Are the returns diminishing as I push my score past 245?
