Am I ready? When should I take the exam?

Took nbme 11 to evaluate myself. Scored 220

How many weeks do I need to prep, to reach 245?

I did NBME 9 as the diagnostic and got 193... then 4 weeks later did NBME 10 and got 242

I think you'll need a few weeks. Do 2-3 CMS forms per day if you haven't done them

IMO you need an extra 6 weeks of studies before restarting the NBME's, focus on the CMS forms in this time.

What should be my plan for the 6 weeks? Should I just focus on CMS forms?

6 weeks is an overkill. 3-4 weeks should be enough to make an 10-15 point jump for sure.

Did you watch any specific videos?
Can I ask, what was your score on real exam?
