More than 6 weeks ago nbme 13 = 180, few weeks later nbme 15 = 192, nbme 16 = 194. A week ago Nbme 17 = 203, couple days later UWSA 1 = 230, UWSA 2 = 217, both UWSA percentage are 64% correct. Am I able to pass this? Exam is in 1 week

Yes, would recommend also taking 18. Score and style was very similar for me.

How predictable were the UWSAs for you?

You have steady improvement! Can I ask what resources are you using?

In the past few weeks my self assessment scores were as follows:
NBME #17 200
NBME #18 205
UWSA #2 224
NBME # 19 taken today 211
The question is Should I take the USMLE Step 1 next week, or is the risk of failing too great to spin the wheel?
Thanks for some feedback as I am in a real quandry.

If you truly took those practice tests in ideal condition (i.e. not looking stuff up, timed). I would say it's very unlikely that you fail. I would say you'll land somewhere between 210-225. You got 1 more week, a lot can be done in a week. Pathoma chapters 1-3 are high-yield, both the small details and overall concepts. Target your weak areas. Good luck!
