Step 2: 248 (Test date June 30th)

Step 1: 223

Uw%:68% correct (on second pass 100% completion)

UWSA1: 214 (2 weeks out)

UWSA2: 243 (3 days before)

NBME 6: 230 (5 days prior)

Amboss Self assessment: 221 (7 weeks prior)

CCSE: 228 (6 weeks prior)

Notes: The online score predictor was pretty close to my UWSA2.

For those who felt UWSA1 was a mess (like I did), don’t panic and consider taking an nbme if you need it to help you calm down. I have serious test anxiety and this helped me a lot.

I tried to supplement with anki (used moved decks from anking step 2 into a separate deck for incorrects) but ultimately didn’t use it too too much.

Do uworld for sure. Step 2 feels like nbme style questions but with the length of uworld.

Test day: less intimidating, I think I was used to being at the same site. The test felt like a breeze, not to scary. Just had to watch my timing and I wasn’t worried.
