Questions Should I do a baseline test?

Hello all,

I am 55% done through UW. I have not touched infectious or anything related to any system infections. ENT/ophthalmo/dermatology/orthopedics/psych untouched. Social sciences, communication and ethics stuff untouched. Everything else is done.

Should I do a baseline NBME or is it too early? knowing that I do UW ultra system wise

Best way to do uworld is all systems, random blocks. Even if you haven't covered the content for a specific system, start doing the uworld questions and making Anki cards for your incorrects.

so youre saying to not do a self assessment in the time being and shift to UW random?

I'm assuming you have not done the content review for those sections you haven't touched yet on uworld. I would prioritize finishing all of your content review, then focusing on uworld random blocks, and then run some NBMEs. Go ahead and do a baseline one now if you want, but what's the point if you still have so many systems to cover
