DO student here. Did pretty well in OMS-I and OMS-II (right around border of top quartile), and put in some good work for USMLE. Taking it Monday, and here's what i've got for indicators:

UW, first pass (only doing incorrects now): 66%
Free120 (about 3 weeks ago): 77%
NBME 17 (2 weeks ago): 213
NBME 18 (1 week ago): 234
UWSA1 (3 days ago): 243
UWSA2 (this morning): 245

I think i'm good for a 230-240, but still a little gunshy from that rough day on 17. I also feel like I still have too many holes for that range, but my practice scores seem to be telling me otherwise. Given the above, am I out of line to think I should be anywhere between 230 & 250, and am pretty safe to stay above 230?

I heard NBMe's were underpredicting by 10 points and simulated uworld exams +/- 4 points.

I'd take that. I'm certainly glad I took them in the order I did. Thanks for the input.
