What is your study plan?
I suggest to you to watch Pathoma/rereading FA
 
At the moment I'm doing UWorld questions (tutor mode) in areas that I'm weak in (ie. Phys) along with reading FA.

OP, reviewing the areas you are weak in is a solid preparation method in the last few days before the Step 1 exam. I would suggest doing questions in those weak areas as well; they are quick and efficient way of determining if you are retaining and integrating the material you are reviewing. I don't advise taking another practice test in these last few days. Doing so and not getting your desired score would only shake your confidence on test day. Good luck, and I hope this helps!

Thank you guys for your suggestions, I greatly appreciate it. At this point, I'm going to go in head strong & attack it. Can't show fear, gotta go hard. That's my mindset at this point. I also did NBME 16 yesterday.

i ve d same scores almost.. n exams on 30th too.. what have u planned for des 2 days?? m freaking out
 
My plans is to re-read FA and work on my incorrect questions on UWorld. I'm planning to do NBME 17 tomorrow and knock out the 150 as well. Its all or nothing at this point. It's hard for me to focus bc I keep thinking about the Step...just trying hard remain focused; although being on SDN isn't helping. Work on weaknesses my G. My biggest biggest BIGGEST is Micro/Immuno & Gen Principles. Working on it w/UWorld now
