Hi guys. I'm taking my test a week from Monday and am trying to figure out what to do in the meantime.

I used World throughout third year and had finished it back in March with I think an average of 61%. I had also taken some of the NBME's to gauge my progress through the year (I did poorly on Step1 and need to improve on Step2!).

Prior to studying, NBME 4 showed a 224.
2 weeks into studying I received a dismal 217 on USWA and a 248 on NBME 2 (same day)
This is my third official week studying. I've been going back through World, averaging 73% overall on this second run-through (I reset the software). I have about 40% of the question bank left. I've gone through FA as well as Case Files for my weakest subjects (Psych and ObGyn) according to NBME 4.

What should I do with the final week? Should I try to get through the rest of World a second time, focus on rereading FA, do a combination? I guess I would feel better if I hadn't have had such an inconsistent UWSA score a few days ago and if I wasn't making up for my below average Step1 score.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long neurotic post! 😕:scared:😱
 
give it a rest in the week before your test. relax, because many peoples experiences, including my own indicate that the uworld SA underestimates your score. by this point you've done what you needed to do so go on a walk and watch some movies. sleep. easier said than done of course
