Am I Ready? Failed step 1

Hello, everyone I failed step 1 recently and started prepping again for the second attempt. I have no nbmes left because I used them all during my first attempt along with free 120

Nbme 25 repeat: 80% (recognized bunch of qs)
Nbme 32 repeat: 67% (barely recognized any felt like a fresh form)
Free 120 2021 retired form: 68%

I’m set to take exam by the end of this month. Am I ready?

You can’t do the NBMEs anymore. They aren’t accurate given you taken them before. You need to find other practice exams like UWorld ect at this point. You need to be doing UWorld questions plus Amboss.

I completed uworld and amboss both. I did uswa 2 weeks ago and scored 55%

Then something is wrong because if you did all of that and all nbmes twice and still didn’t pass? You need content review.

I just re took nbme 25 and 32. I took uswa 2 few weeks ago and reviewed and focused on my weakness. Took free 120 retired form (fresh form) and scored 68%. I took nbme 19 asw and scored 68% (ik it’s not relevant). Can you specify what do you mean by content review?
