Test in 2 weeks...NBME hardly improving

I am desperate at this point. I already pushed my exam back once, to the 17th of this month. My NBME scores are as follow:

5/12/2015: Form 11 = 410/209
6/7/2015: Form 12 = 350/196
7/3/2015: Form 13 = 380/202

Any advice would help. I went through UFAP once. At this point, I dropped my expectations to 220, I wouldn't be surprised if I was suggested to drop it down to 210. Any advice would help.

I going through UWorld a second time. Been scoring in the around ~80% correct, but I feel like this is probably due to me reviewing the questions beforehand. Anyway, any advice would help.

I would recommend going over FA a 2nd time instead of UW-- much more high yield particularly since you don't have time to finish both.

I've had similar problems. The absolute KEY to this exam is going through FA and pathoma a second time, not UWorld. Although UWorld is a great learning tool, you will not have enough foundational pathology and physiological knowledge to answer questions and come up with the differentials until the 2nd pass of FA.

Why did u take forms 11-13...
I think those are considerably easier compared to more recent forms, You should try forms 15+...

Reread. If you have only gone through it once, that is WAY more important than redoing uworld. And like kehlsh said, take the newer NBMEs. They are more realistic of what the actual exam is like.
