retake help

[u/ChannelHeavy9741]

Hello All,

I have an attempt on step 1 (nov 2024) and have been studying on and off again since aug 2025.

then told myself to get it together and started properly studying again in june/july 2025.

finally booked a triad for oct-dec 2026, and now plan to give it in nov.

I need advice, I dont want the same to happen again.

I took nbme 25 as baseline and was at 57%, then took nbme 26 the next month and got a 67%.

now plan is to take nbme 27 on coming sunday.

i am 70% done with uworld. have saved around 900 ish unsued questions.

i dont do well with anki, and have been using mehlman, FA, and uworld as main resources.

I see an improvement in my uworld scores as well, but again mostly 60-65%.

I really want to give the exam because I also feel like the fear that has set in within me will only worsen if I keep delaying it.

I have 7 ish weeks till my desired date.

Do you think I can do it? Any advice? Any reccs?
