I'm aiming for a 240. I'm a little over 4 weeks away from test date. Just took NBME 3 and scored a 214. I still haven't made the first run through yet, should be done with that in about 3 days. Have done 60% of Qbank and will buy world today or tomorrow. Is it still possible to get a 240 if I study my buttay off or should I start thinking about a lower score? honesty is much appreciated.

I thought the first two answers would help to give better information.
I haven't taken Step I yet so I'm not an expert, but if the OP wants my second hand advice, I've heard of many people going up 30-40 points in four weeks. However, that's usually from a baseline of minimal review. It sounds like it's more difficult to come up in scores once you've gone through all the material. Hence my questions.
I don't mind the questions really, as long as they help. We just had our last day of school this week. So I've been "studying" for about 6 weeks. Now, I'm looking to hardcore study/memorize for 4 weeks until my test. have made it through about 75% of FA/RR/BRS physio. Looking to finish the remaining 25% this week and then spend 3 weeks reviewing everything again as many times as I could...yeah i was a little bummed about my first score, hopefully it will just motivate me to study more and more.
I just took Step 1 the other day. I started my review at 209 on form 4 approximately 6 weeks before the exam. I took NBME Form 5 and scored 220 and then a USMLEWorld Sim Exam for a 234 just a few days before the exam. Overall correct on USMLEWorld timed/no repeats: 62%.
I am currently on rotations (surgery) as a third year medical student. In 6 weeks I was able to improve the score approximately 20 points. I am nothing special intellectually so it is perfectly reasonable for you to jump 26 points in 4 weeks. Good luck! 👍
