Starting 2nd semester soon and planning to take boards by either last week of May or first week of june and sticking to it. I feel pretty confident in all the path I learned so far and have a very good foundation in physio as well. My weakness by far is micro and pharm. I honored the courses but just can't retain the info long term. I just took a couple timed non tutor uworld on random with all the stuff we covered so far in class..so it was missing about 4-5 topics. Scored 57 and 59% on them. Am I on the right track? What percentages should I be shooting for to aim for a 250+?

I did 4 blocks of Kaplan on random just before winter break started and averaged about an 84% (83, 74, 89, 89). Scored >90% correct in our "comprehensive" NBME (200 questions covering MS1-first semester of MS2).

Friend of mine scored a 245 last year and was telling me his UW averages (on random) at the end of second semester were about 60% then up to ~80-85% by the time he was midway through dedicated time. His Kaplan scores during the semester (organ system specific) were ~80%. He was around the top ~30th percentile in grades during MS1/MS2 (our school is P/F with class rank).

A different friend (257 three years ago) was about 60% on UW random second semester MS2 as well.

Seems like you're good to go (based on those 2 people at least).
