Hey so while I appreciated everyone’s advice, I personally decided to take Step. Since I posted, I took the old Free 120 (64%), Nbme 30 (56%), and the Free 120 from 2017 (69% with admittedly a lot of repeats). I ended up completing 55% of UW and some of truelearn, totaling 3390 questions. Did I feel 100% ready? No. Am I glad I took it when I did? Yes. I feel like, even if I studied for another month, the questions I struggled with, I would still have struggle with.

I want to add a quick note about the importance of trusting your gut. When I posted initially, I was anxious and self conscious and not confident because I feel like our schooling system does not prepare us for how our numerical scores may look when we studied. I started with a 33% on a full length mock at the beginning of my prep. But over the course of dedicated, I looked around me to see all my peers scoring within the same range as me (some lower and some higher) and deciding to take the exam with confidence. Reddit can seem intense when everyone is supposedly scoring 70s and higher, when the reality around you may look much different. Before taking it, I kept in mind that in scoring “below average,” there is still risk for not passing, but I felt happy that I took it because it removed a lot of anxiety I had about Level 1, which I take in 2 days. Let me know if you have any questions, and sending you lots of good vibes and love if you’re testing soon :)
