do usmle world
score you get on your kaplan assesement is not the score on the real exam
as far as i remember some phys questions from kaplan are picky enough to not even guess them
work on your weak areas but dont postpond the exam any further
you can do it,
we all can
so many people have done it so far
do the nbme if you want or if you are too scared to, dont.. it might get you more depressed if you dont score high enough
i think the first would be worries management, try to relax, you have another month left plenty of time to just redo the things you do not know well,and pay more attention to retaining the facts and concepts rather then the scores you get on those tests.
read the answers carefully and youve gained much more than a high percentage.
we all go thru this
but dont worry, relax and take things as they come to you and manage them through
hope it helps
best of luck
and THINK POSIIVE

Other Qbank's freaked me out. But the NBME's for me were a confidence boost.
Also, strongly suggest NBME, because even if you don't do as well as you would like, then at least you have a realistic idea of where you stand, and so you can delay your Step if you're not satisfied with your results.

480 is vgood & you still have a month to study & nail your weak points.
Good Luck..

Since you have already done Kaplan Qbank, you may want to do more qs from difference say to avoid inflation of scores and misjudgement. I would advise doing usmleworld and/or usmlerx and make notes while doing it. The notes will be hand for HY topics review during last week of exam.
