I have complete about 70 percent of UW with a 54 average, and now i'm starting to bomb the last 30 percent badly. I have read FA once and Secrets twice. I take notes from UW. I am scared. I took and NBME and passed with a low score. What should I do? I take the exam July 10.

reschedule, you are not prepared to handle the test!

Do you need to just pass, or do you plan to use the score to bolster a low Step 1 or because you are an IMG/FMG? If you just need to pass, then I'd say keep working through world with your remaining time, in tutor mode, and read every answer in detail -- that is the best text for this test. If you need a high score, I tend to agree with the prior poster -- you might want more time.

I did reschedule it to July 10. I want to hit atleast 210. Nothing much. Should I read another book or something?? Should i redo UW?? Reread FA? (Which I found to be a waste of time to begin with...)

maybe you should reread step up to medicine (assuming you used it for your medicine clerkship). I haven't started studying yet but my plan was to go through step up again, read secrets twice, and tackle UW.

Yikes. I reread Step up back in January. Any more suggestions??

July 10 is far away, take a breather and refocus, i'm sure you're doing fine. I think you're ahead of 70% of the people with the same test date at this point 🙂

I'm going to read Boards and Wards twice, as soon as it comes next week. I'm almost finished with UW and I'll redo all the wrong questions. I started using tutor mode, which helps. Reading Secrets a few days prior to the exam would be a good idea??
Any suggestions would be great!!!
