Work hard on the following things now:-
(a) Weak areas in NBME
(b) CCS cases (*)
© revise MTB again
(d) If possible read your weak areas from PR and/or archer notes also.

Good Luck.

good morning, carlosaa.

nbme is unpredictable, but it helps us to prepare well in weak areas.
i am adding with harry's suggestion --

do "incorrect ques" from q bank

when today i have started again uw, i found myself confused for many ques though it's not my 1st time.

good luck for prep and exam.

I agree with meti , do the incorrect questions that are your weakness.

Finishing UW or kaplan q-bank is not the Goal.

Knowing the concepts which are frequently tested in the exam is important.

Some people start studying step 2 material , that is of no use.

Step 3 is exam related to primary care and questions related to primary care .

Explanations of UW are important.
