I'm 37 days away from my exam

I'm solving UW for the scond time (I wrote all notes & went over them before), my average scores mainly around 70 (75 -76%) ,sometimes 80 ( 4 times) 1 time 91, &2 times 58..

I'm very worried about still getting low ones & about the fluctuations, I finished UW with the 1st time with cum score of 57%, I did 15 blocks untill now & my score went up to 63 %...

I'm again writing notes of the wrong qs, will do them again at the end.

So can anyone tell me if I'm going on the right track..

Plz I'm very worried

I think you definitely are. Don't let anxiety get you, this is the right way to proceed and I am sure that if you keep going this way you won't have any problem on exam day. What about doing an NBME now? It could be a really good way to check your prep: if you score above 600 you are definitely on the right truck... Good luck!

Thanks Guys, Really appreciate ur support.

Believe it or not I'm worried to take NBME, I don't want it to take me down as i'm close to the exam, so I'm just thinking to stick to UW (already had a lot of fights together but still tryin to be friends, lol), Kaplan Q Bank & the notes..

Is Kaplan simulation CD good, I have It & was planning to take it soon, Does it evaluate & whats a good score in it?

I hope this is enough..

Thanks again

You have 37 days left!!!!!!!!!!!!! nod

I think you should take an NBME to see where you stand. (When i took one, it made me feel a WHOLE LOT better... UWorld had a way of making me feel horrible). And plus better to know where you stand now, while you still have LOTS of time left until the test.
