Dear friends,
I have scheduled my stepCK in 3 weeks.
MY Status: Read kaplan notes once and then do UW subjectiwise average 55% ,when doing UW, read kaplan notes 2nd time.Now have read UW self notes for the 2nd time. Have read FA once and have bords and wards but have not read it thoroghly.
Took NBME1 yesterday ,feeling really good when doing the test, BUT turned out got 420/196.Based on these two NBME tests, what should I do now? Pospone the test? or go ahead? If go ahead what do you recommend for the last 3 weeks? Looking forward to any suggestion. I am really lost here...

SORRY, something strange happen when I post my 1st one. Here is the whole thing:
MY Status: Read kaplan notes once and then do UW subjectiwise average 55% ,when doing UW, read kaplan notes 2nd time.Now have read UW self notes for the 2nd time. Have read FA once and have bords and wards but have not read it thoroghly.
Took, NBME1 yesterday ,feeling really good when doing the test, BUT turned out got 420/196. I am really shocked of the predicted score. Because I feel that I am pretty good in shape for the real test and have planned last review for the next 3 weeks. When I saw this score I, the first feeling is that I should pospone the test, because I am hoping I could get 90s, this predicted score even put me to the edge of pass/fail border , not even mention getting 90s. But my feeling tell me that I am not that bad and if I postpone my test I do not even know where should I go and how should I do more to improve my study? I really have NO idea.
I still do not beleve that I am that bad ,this feeling pushed me to take NBME2 today. Feeling really not sure and uncertain when doing the test but turned out 620/243 of the predicted score,which is more than my dreamed score.
Based on these two NBME tests, what should I do now? Pospone the test? or go ahead? If go ahead what do you recommend for the last 3 weeks?
Looking forward to any suggestion. I am really lost here...

This is how I'd do it: I'd go ahead take your exam as planned. Review UW extensively. Insist on week areas. Also, insist on Internal medecine, since it's the biggest part. Have you done the questions from the CD? I'd do it too.
Some people say NBME3 gives the best prediction.

Thank you alpha12 and amihossein, I will go ahead with my test and now I think rescheduling the test only frastrate me. I did not do CD and NBME3. I will emphasize my weak area and give my last review in the following days.
