USMLE Step 1 in ~2 months - am I in a good spot? Feeling anxious

[step-throwaway]

Hi everyone. I'm taking Step 1 at the end of March, and I'm just worried about where I'm at with the material. I guess I just need some reassurance from people who have taken the test.

So I essentially just finished the material (Pathoma, SketchyMicro, most of Pharm, Costanzo) last week. I still have some neuro, stats, and pharm (I have 4 sketchyPharm videos left) Zanki cards left, which I'll likely get through in the next couple weeks. However, most of Zanki is matured at this point.

In terms of questions, I've done Rx, and recently started UWorld (only 80 questions in). I know I haven't done quite as many questions as a lot of people, which is part of what's stressing me out. Just to see where I'm at, I just finished NBME 18 and got a 248. I'd like to get a 260+ on the real thing - do you guys think that's a realistic goal?

I'm sorry if I sound silly; I know 248 is a great score, but I've also heard that NBME 18 overpredicts. So I just don't know what to think

Also, I obviously still felt/feel anxious otherwise I wouldn't have posted somewhere else to get other perspectives. It's not beating a dead horse. Very constructive comment...

Yeah with two months, you'll get up to the 260s on practice scores.
