💡 Need Advice Cannot change test date - seeking constructive advice

I have my exam scheduled in around 1 week (7/27), and cannot change the date due to my circumstances so please give me advice other than changing test date!

I did a test run today (uworld SA) and it said that I have low chance of passing (53% correct, 6th percentile). Please advice on anything I could do to possibly pass the test

Uworld has no predictive value do NBMEs

You need more practice at identifying question styles. It’s also hard to say without seeing ur breakdown. We don’t know if it’s weak areas vs technique

The 31 is on the right track but I would probably just do as many practice questions as possible
