So today just finished UW with 64% correct, 68th percentile.
but then I did NBME 11 and I got a bad score (193).
now should I be worried?
will be doing the 2 UW assessment soon. but I feel I am missing something big to know😕

Well, when is your test?

I don't know how it's possible to finish UW with 64% correct and score a 193.

It's looking like I'll wind up with a final percentage of about 61-63% correct and I got a 235 on NBME 11 3 days ago.

Don't worry just take a break and study your weak points then do another nbme see where you are.

I can relate. I just (like just, 10 minute ago) finished NBME 12 and did not do as well as I'd hoped. I got about 62% correct on UWorld, so I'm kinda bummed as well.
 
somewhat related question: does anyone think the percentage correct and 3-digit score don't correlate well? I took the nbme 7 (a while ago) but I got 77% correct and that's only a 212 🙁

does this seem right? is that the kind of scale we can expect to see on the actual usmle??

I took NBME 12 a month ago and scored an impressive 162. I was shocked since i finished 1st pass of Uworld with a 58%.

What was your weakness? I had issue with recalling information in a timely manner since i did uworld primarily in a untimed tutor mode.

I was actually pretty well rounded in my below averageness, which was discouraging. Lymphatics and hematopoetic systems were a bit lower than others, but otherwise, was kinda pretty below average. Timing's not been an issue with me overall as I read pretty quickly. Mainly, I just struggle with remembering the really gritty basic science stuff.

I'm going to do the two UWorld SAs and see how those go. Then, I've marked about 500 questions in UWorld I thought were really high yield, and I'll just start pounding those until test day.
