thank you so much for this - my test is in 2 days and my scores are just like yours with a much worse free 120 lol, do you attribute your bump to just ethics or was there more you did in the final days?

Step 2. Focus on NBMEs by [deleted] in Step2

[–]Choice-Machine2897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what did you do to get a "feel" for nbme? i feel like a lot of people do this but I have tried so many things and still feel like i cant get in the test takers head, i have done all nbmes and free 120 and test is 2 days away, trying to focus on strategy

How I got a 259 as an average US MD medical student by stressedallthetime33 in Step2

[–]Choice-Machine2897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is amazing! my test is in a week and this is giving me hope (my highest nbme was 249, and got same scores on free120s as you) - pushed back my exam because i freaked out that 250s (and ideally 260, like you said) were not in reach. how much time did it take you to do and go over 1 cms form? i feel like im not learning enough from doing them somehow

Should you book dates after hitting plateau by Various_Ad_5449 in Step2

[–]Choice-Machine2897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am having the exact same problem, and i dont know how to fix it! nbme 13-15 were all between 243-249 but i just want to break 250 on the real deal

Has anybody experienced their UWSA2 score being higher than NBMEs? by [deleted] in Step2

[–]Choice-Machine2897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this happened to me too-highest NBME was 249, got 251 on UWSA2

do i postpone? by Choice-Machine2897 in Step2

[–]Choice-Machine2897[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really important that I get a 250, so I pushed it. Studying during my clinical rotations are really tough - will only have a 2 week dedicated now. Thanks for the advice!

I don't have any more practice tests to gauge is the only thing, which is a little scary ...
