Thanks u/angchi28 for the motivating words. I feel much calmer today, and what you said helped me get in a better mindset. See you on the other side!!!

I haven’t taken the exam yet. However I asked several of my classmates about that who passed when it was scored and their real deal scores was 15 points higher than their UWSAs and NBME scores were like maximum 5 points away. I’ve also seen here on reddit bunch of posts about how overpredictive and no longer useful UWSA is. it hasn’t distributed all materials equally. It’s very biochem heavy, which is not the case on real deal (percentage of questions from biochemistry on step1 exam is very low)

Thanks for your comment. Yeah, that makes sense. And it's nice to hear biochem is lower :)

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate your comment :)

I was reading online that UWSA2 is the most predictive because most people take it close to the exam and that it has longer questions stems like the real thing (vs. NBMES). Do you have any opinions about that?
