When should UW score go up?!

Hi all, I have been studying for almost 1 wk now and have not seen a trend upwards in my UW score. I am definitely getting a better feel for the 2-3 jumps that need to be made in order to answer a q, but I am still second-guessing myself and making dumb mistakes. My average right now after one week of doing about 80 q's/day is a 51% (ranging from 44%-75%). For the most part, I would say I am getting in the low to mid 50's- this is quite discouraging and frustrating!

So....for those of you who have been studying for 2+ wks or have already taken the exam, how long did it take until you saw your UW scores start to go up?

Also, anyone out there who was scoring in the mid 50's on UW and ended up doing well on the real thing?? I guess I shouldn't get too ahead of myself, but not doing well on these stupid questions makes me lose motivation to study 😕

I hear ya. The same thing is happening to me. I'd like to know the answer to this myself.

I would say around the 3rd week is when my scores started going into the high 60's....I stated around 40's and was stuck around the 50's until the third week when I started moving up...and it has been an up trend since...hoping for some 70's by next week...gl

Thanks for the heads-up. How long are you studying for total and are you referring to your scores on random 46Q timed blocks? I happen to learn better from the tutor mode (since reading long explanations to 46 q's in a row gets tiring...) but I am wondering when to switch it up to timed mode. So far, I have been keeping track of time and doesn't seem to be much of an issue for me, but I feel like I should start simulating the real thing soon. I have 2 1/2 weeks left!

well I've done about 47% of all the questions in UW and my score doesn't seem to go up. I've done all blocks of 46 random Q's. All timed and with unused Q's. Still hitting the mid 50's with an overall average of 53%😕 I hope they start to go up a bit this week. I do have to say that I feel like I've learned a lot as I go through the explanations. By the way most of the questions I miss I can find the answers on FA, which is frustrating cuz I just finished reading it. I guess I'll read it again 😀
