Step 1 Score Improvement in 2.5 weeks.

I take step 1 in 2.5 weeks, and I'm wondering what advice you have on maximizing score improvement.

I started out with 224 on NBME 12 at the beginning of my 6 weeks study period. Two weeks later, my score improved to 239 on NBME 15. Today (two weeks after my last NBME), I scored a 243 on NBME 16. To be honest, I'm bummed that my score did not improve that much. I just finished first pass through Uworld, and I was scoring between 75 - 86% in the last two weeks, and I just feel like the NBMEs and Uworld scores don't correlate at all. I thought I was getting a good grasp on the material to improve than 4 points from my last NBME. My Uworld percentages definitely improved significantly. I am hoping to score 250 on the real thing, but now, I'm not even sure that's possible. I still have one more full run of FA + Pathoma before my real test. Can someone share their experience/tips on how to improve?

Its possible.NBMEs do not check all the concepts fairly in the 200Qs that you get .The exam will have many more Qs on which u have good grasp on plus the time till you take the exam is still there to improve .If you strike the right cord improvement can be much more than just 7 points ( 243-250).

Keep working at it .
Do update .

Bro's deck is here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalsch...encephalon_deck_updated_thru_errata_4_posted/

It's free and has 15k cards I think. I don't use it, but some people on the forum really like it. So it's free + more cards + better reputation.
