Hey guys,
My initial NBME was at 205 about 6 weeks ago. Right now I'm at a 226 as per nbme 13. My goal is to get to a 247 or at the very least a 240+ on the real deal and my test is in about 5 weeks.

So far, I did a single pretty crappy read through of first aid because I hate passive reading. I learn more from doing questions. I am half way through Usmle Rx and 1/5th through Uworld. I have Kaplan qbank but haven't done much of it. I read up on things I don't understand/ remember from questions in FA as necessary. I don't know any anatomy&embryo or much biostats so I think boning up on that should get me to ~230. I have other areas of weakness I know I need to address as well.

Where should I go from here? Should I just focus on reading FA for my weaknesses and doing questions on those, in addition to doing a block covering all material every day? Should I do another pass through all FA like I'm starting from scratch?
I read somewhere that getting through 3 test banks is the key to a 240+. Should I aim to get through all 3 of my testbanks or just focus on getting through Uworld?

Any help or feedback would be most appreciated.

Thank you! 🙂
