Getting hammered by the NBMEs

[Seentoomanyquestions]

I hate to admit it, but I'm having a tough time with the NBMEs.

I've done a little more than half of both UW (66% score w/ repeats) and Kaplan qbank (79% score w/ repeats).

I took the NBME #1 six weeks ago and scored a 165, retook it three weeks later scoring a 199. I took NBME #2 today and scored a 199.

The fact that my score did not improve over the last three weeks is worrying me.

Or is #2 that much more difficult?

I'm also running out of time, because I have my exam scheduled in little less than 3 weeks. For those of you that took it, what would you concentrate on, UW or Kaplan?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Hi, I took my step2 at the beginning of October. Because I was so afraid of the exam I purchased both UW and Kaplan quest on line. I wasnt scoring too good on neither, but I passed quite well the exam.
I would concentrate on UW because the format, type of questions, the lenght are very similar to those that you will see on the real exam.

I was also reading over and over "secrets" and also printed out 250Rx as well the concepts that was put on the int med section of valuemd.
They are really good, and God bless people who put the effort to put them on line.
Keep reviewing and maybe try to take nbme a week before the exam?
good luck to you!!!!

Just finished form 3 after two weeks of studying UW questions, mostly in medicine and in tutor mode.

Now, I scored a 227.

Makes me feel a little better about my exam on Thursday.
