do some review on ur q's, def do nbme's to see where u stand, and do FA, it will give u ability to do quick recall w/o having to do all of kaplan again..biggest advice, DO NBME'S!! i wish i spent more time on it, i was just fed up so took my test, happy i passed but i guess i could have done better (now beating myself up over it), hope that helps!!

Same here i have just a few days left and my priority is NBME form 2 (better correlation with real score), improving weak areas studying UW again and again, FA and my own notes. NO NEW MATERIAL DEFINETELY.
Good luck.

Hey Mad, i am in the same boat my exam is booked for may1st so i have around 20days too.. i dont know what to do...i am thinking should i take it or postpone it and study some more. I did uw but only got threw 70% of it by the time it expired. I didnt do anyother stuff.
On uw i scored = 50% (70% compleated)
Nbme forum 2= 380=== 188

now i am in a delima am i going to make it or not.... what do you guys think?

honestly, i would study more, read FA or some book to just gather ur concepts together, step 2 is not as direct, more than one ans will look appealing so it's up to u to know which anwer is more correct, rite?? so for that, in order to do kaplan all over again is too much, it's better to do FA (i liked it better than crush) since u are within ur last days of review.. ur nbme score should be up more, i always was told to be safe get over 420 just for +/- 20 nbme point margin for passing range.. u have nuf time to do another nbme, asses where u are, and then decide to reschedule or not.. that's what i would do, hpe that helpd! smiling face

hi,
I would go over all the UW questions ... just do no less than 100 each day.
