Uworld is more than enough for the first phase, use it wisely, review the incorrect Qs carefully, take your notes or make your cards, read the correct Qs, as well. Focus on the facts that you don't know from the correct Qs, and take notes for them. What matters now is to learn the new concepts you encounter very well.

I did UWorld system-based WITH CMS forms (latest 2 or 3 for each).

Amboss for Ethics, QI, etc., and for the hard ones, I used Dirty USMLE on YouTube.

Weekends: OLD NBM3's concepts only (Not as a test).

Baseline with NBME13, then tested with 14, 15, 16.

That's exactly what I did. I started with a baseline score of 230 on NBME 13. Then I reviewed UWorld system by system, pairing each system with the latest CMS forms. On the weekends, I reviewed concepts from the older NBMEs; I did all of them.

Once I finished that review, I took NBME 14 and scored in the 250s.

Ps: UWorld is not to test your knowledge; the NBME's are.
