I am shooting for the mean. I started my 3 week dedicated study period on 5/8 with the exam date set for 5/29.

5/8 NBME 7: 163
5/12 NBME 11: 193
5/17 NBME 12: 217

The NBME 12 score is encouraging but I feel like I guessed on half the questions. So far I've completed:

33% of UW (54% correct, random blocks)
25% of FA
25% of Goljan audio

With 11 days left I will not be able to finish all three. Should I focus on just one? Which one? Would you take another NBME?

My advice would be to cut out goljan audio because most of what he says is all in FA if not in uworld, and besides I think that the STEP1 is now steering away from direct "buzz word" situations that Goljan is really known for. Don't get me wrong...i listened to him early on in my study period he's great to get the initial mechanics but i think with 11 days out your best bet is to stick the the simple tried and true method of FA and UWorld. If you cant do both, FA would be main but doing questions solidifies the information you get from FA a lot better. Just my opinion. I'm five days away from my exam and really wish i got a jump start on reading FA instead of trying to do too much....

First Aid! Do yourself a favor and finish it first! Then, if you have time, go over UWorld as fast as possible. Ditch Goljan audio for sure. First Aid alone will get you a lot of points.

Yup first aid. UW if you have time.
