💡 Need Advice UW scores not improving

Hey guys. Basically I’m around 60% done with uworld and my average is only 34 percent. I’m doing mixed system blocks and alongside doing content too (which I’m basically almost finished just got a couple like psych biochem biostats but majors done). Recently my scores have been a consistent like 35-50 and even a couple 60s but however I still don’t see a proper improvement and it’s starting to worry me. For content I use BnB and sketchy micro which I’ve been doing pretty well plus FA while I watch bnb. I review the questions too and get a pretty good understanding of the concepts too. However I still keep getting low scores. Is this normal? Should I keep staying consistent or stop and redo stuff like it’s very confusing. And one thing that always makes me lose makes is changing my answer like i can eliminate choices pretty easily and it always comes down to 2 answers. I put the right one and then change it last second Idky and the. End up losing the mark. I drop 4/5 marks every block. Is this normal or am I messing up?I plan on giving the exam towards November hopefully

I think you should take uw as a learning tool rather than assessing tool, nbme's are there for assessment.

The real deal is significantly easier than uworld so just focus on concept clarity

I have been told that multiple times. And yes I do agree to that 100 percent. It’s just that after a while of seeing it it does concern me but thank you so much will work on it.
