I took Step 2 CK NBME Form 1 a month back and received a score of 220 (very low) after just doing the kaplan lectures. I recently took the Form 3 and received the same score of 220. This is after completing %70 of UW questions with an average scoring of %55 (timed mode).

The material I used so far are:
Kaplan Series Books 2006
Kaplan Video Lecture (all subjects)
Crush the Boards
USMLE World (%70-complete)

Total study time: 2 and 1/2 months

I planned to take the exam in May (~1month from now). I am very confused and upset seeing that the NBME score hasn't increased. Any advice or similar experience correlating to the real exam would be really helpful.

So far status is Step 1 - passed and Step 2 - struggling.

Can you clarify the 220 score! is that 220 that you could get in the usmle making it a 510 NBME? or is that a 220 NBME score that will be a 137 usmle score?

Remember that NBME 3 is suppose to be the hardest of the NBME.
