Where should I be in terms of material 4 weeks before the exam (I am trying to shoot between 240-250). Should I have gone through all the material once already and not read any new material? Should I be done with UWorld and all outside material and now just going for a second round for review?

I am trying to determine my time schedule and if I should waste my time on the lower yield material or concentrate mostly on the high yield material.

I have 3 months until my exam and so far I have it set up so I have gone through every section thoroughly once, and then 3 weeks to review everything I have learned. Is that a solid plan or should I give myself more time to re-review the material as a whole instead of individual sections which means I will not have time for low yield reading like HY Gross Anatomy with First Aid.

P.S. I have started UWorld recently (33% complete) and I am averaging a 58%. I took an NBME in December though and I didn't even pass and I am afraid I have a lot of gaps in my learning.

Sounds like you might benefit from this plan:
