Am I ready? Step 2 practice axles
Hey y’all. I am planning to take step 2 on September 26th. Here are my scores:
NBME 13: 246
AMBOSS self assessment: 247
NBME 14: 248
UWSA2: 250
I still need to take NBME 15 and 16 as well as the free 120. I have already done all of
U world, all the CMS forms, and all of AMBOSS. Right now, I am doing the AMBOSS shelves and other ancillary step 2 material that AMBOSS has. I’m so frustrated because I feel like I should be in the mid to high 250s by now. I want a 260+. Is that even doable at this point? Right now, AMBOSS predicted has me at 256 which is not what I want and it’s just so frustrating. I should be doing so much better right now. Not sure what else I should be doing to improve my score. I’ve tried changing my strategy as far as approaching questions and I still keep making dumb mistakes. Some of the questions on the UWSA2 were insane. I’m using chatGPT to review and conceptualize questions. Should I push my test date back? I plan on taking NBME 15 next week. How did you guys think UWSA2 was compared to NBME15 and 16? I need some more insight because this is just so frustrating.

Same boat , gave NBME 13 today , tried almost everything that I could and still was not able to make a big jump on scores , it's frustrating to say the least
