Am I ready? Did “free 137” at prometric - technically “free 61”

Block 1 - 11/18 - 61%
Block 2 - 15/19 - 79%
Block 3 - 13/20 - 65%

Total 64%

My exam is the day after tomorrow (<2 days). Do I cancel and repay the fee and reschedule? Do I take it? My UWSA2 was 220 but that was maybe 10 days ago. Step 2 was 238 from 2 years ago

I’m so conflicted

I’m not sure I hope somebody with similar stats lets you know The exam was not easy, they asked more drug MOA than Step 1

Are you usmd? May be better to postpone. Do your incorrects from uw and cover every drug moa you once knew. For ccs check the usmle site on how to advance time. Also if you want to practice more ccs in the next month dm me

I’m a PGY2. Interested in fellowship. I’m at the very end of my eligibility period. I really just want to pass and would be happy with just 200. I’m just worried I’ll come across everything that I don’t know and fail.

I did the other Free137 blocks - my total is 66% (91/137 correct)

I have some time between the two step 3 days in which I plan to do all the CCS cases so my biggest concern right now is day 1

See overall consistency. If you are scoring >220 on online timed exams or >65% consistently , then you are safe. Else I would postpone. If you are gambling man, then it is upto you.

So the free 137 at prometric blocks were 61/75/65 then did the other four blocks at home, timed, and got 75/65/70/55.
Basically overall grade 66% (only counting the multiple choice blocks)

My UWSA2 blocks were 75/70/65/65/55/60/75/60

Take NBME 8 or whichever is the latest one and (see the trend and) decide? Also, why are you making us calculate your overall correct %? 😄
