Too late for USMLErx?

So I am just about done a first pass of uworld (around 75% first pass), have done most of the NBMEs, and finished kaplan qbank 2-3 months ago.

My step 1 is on 29th of november (just over a month left). Should I bother getting a subscription to USMLErx, or just stick to reviewing uworld?

I can do questions pretty fast, around 2-400 a day, so wondering what you guys think about getting more exposure to various sources of questions Vs another few repeats of uworld.

If you can do 300 questions a day (god knows how), you can knock it out in a week, so why not..

Just do UWorld 2nd pass, don't bother with Rx

Yes. Absolutely do USMLE Rx. It's as valuable, if not more so, than reading FA, because it reinforces the text hardcore. If your exam is late-November, blast through Rx at 300-322 Qs/day for sure. The best thing about Rx (unlike UWorld), is that you can actually select, as a testing method, to have your questions administered as full-length assessments, so you don't need to worry about each block ending and then having to create new ones; you can literally just do 9-10 full-length exams. Plan on spending 10 days on Rx, and think of it as time spent reading FA. The exams will take you 8 hours, then spend 2-3 reviewing the explanations for the ones you got wrong or marked = 10-11-hr days. I have no doubt this will add to your Step score. Just suck it up and do it. It just depends on how bad you want that extra 5-7 points.

Absolutely not. Definitely do USMLE Rx.
