USMLEWorld vs. NBME practice tests

[KidAtHeart]

Which one is the better predictor of actual Step II score?

I've read FA once, done 60% of USMLEWorld (with cumulative score of 66%), and taken 2 practice NBME exams. The first practice exam (Form 3) predicted 235 (one week into studying) and the second one (Form 2) predicted 259 (2 weeks into studying). That doesn't seem to mesh with the 66% on UW, so I'm not sure who to believe...

Any advice?

Sounds to me like you are solid in your knowledge and the NBME results reflect that. Dont get hung up on UW percentages. I think anyone consistently above 60 percent is going to pass the actual test. On recent full length unused ques what are you scoring? If its above 70-75%, I think you are going to get your expected score. GL
