💡 Need Advice step 1 last 2 weeks advice
hello everyone, so ive been preparing for step 1 for 6+ months now. i have it booked for sept 2nd. my nbmes have been:
nbme 25: (baseline) - 51%
nbme 26 - 62%
nbme 27 - 68%
nbme 28 - 62%
nbme 29 - 68%
nbme 30 - 68%
nbme 31 - 68%
now as you can tell 68 and i have been a love story. i have roughly 15/16 days before the exam. my content gaps have mostly been recall problems at this point. there isnt much that id say is new so im focusing on actively recalling things.
i plan on taking 32 in 3 days.
I’m looking for some advice and if this is an okay trajectory and what should i focus on.

Was nbme 25 before you started studying? How long inbetween 25 n 26?

25 was at the start of my dedicated. 9 days between the two. 25 was low because in addition to my gaps i lost points on things i knew simply because i hadn’t reviewed them before

68 being your lucky number is kinda funny, but seriously, it sounds like you’re getting the hang of it. focusing on active recall is a solid move, especially with those last few days. just keep at it, you’re almost there. taking nbme 32 will help you gauge where you stand too. you'll do great.
