4.uworld got 70 average for first time and second time 81 percent correct ,95th percentile ,revised it 2 times ahd 2 1/2 times wrong questions ,i did it in mixed mode as i did in step 1 and my final score were very close to the average score i got for the first time but for better understanding and second time rivision you may do it subject wise .
5.first AID Q and A --average score was 75 first time , i did not get time to revise it .
6.UWSA gave on date 3 weeks before exam 262/720
TOTAL time taken 4month full time 8-10 hours study ,i wasted time in between may be 10-15days in these 4 month.
7. i did not do any online NBME but i did solved form 1 nbme offline ,i got 86 percent correct .
my suggestions is
1.time management is key ,very very important ,
2.i entered exam centre and started block one ,meanwhile i was thinking lighting and some thing is wrong with exam environment me today ,i did not realise anything but at 32 Q remembered i forgot my speckle -antiglare and at that moment i was panicky and i solved rest of the questions like in rapid succession.
after that in 2nd block i felt less time ,rest blocks i finished in time ..
i took breaks after 2 blocks ,snacks in between ..simple sandwich and fruit juice .
overall exam was satisfactory but first tow block scared me a lot ..
3.it is better to write it as soon as you finish step 1 ..
4,use minimum study material and revise it many times ..thats the best tips i could suggest everybody .
i would be glad to reply any questions ..
