I'm looking for advice on whether or not I (a DO) should take the usmle. I'm currently scheduled to take it later this week. Postponing the exam isn't really an option as much as I would like for it to be. How much would I be shooting myself in the foot when applying to acgme residencies with a usmle score in the low teens?

NBME scores:
15- 200 4 weeks out
16 - 211 1 week out
17 - 215 today

if you're not postponing, then kill step 2 and make connections along the way for residency

I would say think about what your desired score is and then compare it with your NBMEs..
if you are doing well..
then take it..
