Be strong, Mauri. It was the same for me also. I took my exam yesterday and it wasn't bad at all. usmleworld was very useful for a lot of questions

Hello...
got a week for my ck step 2, have been studying very long and very hard. I finished kaplan qbank over a month and a half ago with a 66% cummulative and started usmle world a month ago, im scoring 65% cummulative and every time I take an exam I feel like I failed it!!! but when I get my socre its low 70's or high 60's and it makes me happy but not very confident because im guessing so much!!! Is this how everybody feels when they take their practice exams on usmle world or kaplan ?? Am I just lucky? Is this how I will feel after my exam like I bombed the thing terribly!!! This is terrible. Is there any way to feel confident that you passed? I just want to know if others in my case and the people scoring very well on usmle world like in the 70's - 80's feel the same way.
please help this is ruining my confidence.
thanks...

hey
sorry to hear, but its pretty good scoring in UW from what i have heard
i have not taken the exam nor have done UW YET, so i cannot suggest much,but try NBME to know where u stand.
in my opinion , its the best predictor out there for step 2.
though i feel its too close to ur exam(1 week) to be taking nbme,
BUT if ur score in NBME is good i guess u should go ahead with the exam

your right!! I think I am lacking confidence. im not going to take the nbme b/c im too close to the exam, my last nbme a month ago was a 490, im pretty sure I improved too. On usmle world every time i take an exam i score on average about 7 points above the average so i am constantly over the average which makes me confident. also ive eaten the books for sooo long and have to be ready. ive taken kaplan live lectues in nyc 6 months ago, spent two months after doing kaplan qbank where i scored a 66%, then spent a month and a half of doing usmle world and scoring 65%, there isnt much physically or mentally i could do and i feel my head is going to explode but i learned sooo much during these past months that makes me feel confident. ill just go in there go to war on my test and ace this thing with God's help, thanks for yorur support.
