NBME 7- 214 6 weeks ago
NBME 13- 219 3 weeks ago
NBME 11- 221 2.5 weeks ago
NBME 15- 231 2 weeks ago
NBME 12- 226 couple days ago
UWorld 2 250 today

I take Step 1 in 4 days, do you guys think I should do the offline NBME's for practice questions or just read through FA and Uworld again?

I really feel like I misread like 5 or 6 questions on every test, but I'm sure everyone feels that way. I'm just hoping I can get a couple of those and break 235

You have done enough. practicing more NBMEs isnt going to help you at this point. But you should check your wrong NBME answers to identify what went wrong and try to avoid that same mistake in the real test. Im sure that after all you have studied, those NBME answers were answered incorrectly not because you didnt know the concept, but because you misread or misunderstood the questions, or just didn't know how to answer it.

So do that, read FA, check your marker board topics and have a good rest the previous day, dont try to cram anything the day before the test, just rest, have a relaxed day and prepare for the day.

review your previous questions and UWorld. Review your notes from your studies. I dont think another NBME is going to help you at this point. If for some reason you did terribly it could crush your psyche.

Survivor DO

Thanks for the help. I'm at the point where I don't think there's anymore I can memorize. I guess I'm gonna go through some behavioral science..then cram some pharm and micro and im done

uworld varies massively so its hard to say. usually ppl go with nbme, which can be as much as 20 points lower sometimes.
