I have 33 days to study for CK. I am an American allopathic student and have just finished my last third year rotation. Today, I took NBME #2 and made a 225. What would be a reasonable max score I could achieve?

I know it's limited info, but can anyone out there with a similar baseline chime in?
 
I would say 225 is a great baseline to start with. I was at 240 after 1 month of studying on the same form. 2 weeks after that I increased by 14 points according to NBME form 4. I think its safe to say if you get through as much as UWORLD as possible and any 1 review book(if you wanted) in the next 33 days you could easily hit a 240+.
