Either u know the material or don't....month does not matter at all

The month does not matter. The scores are based on many things. Mainly on how well you know the material and also somewhat based on how other students scored. Of course none of us know exactly how these things are graded as everything is confidential. I'd recommend writing a NBME online and seeing how you do. That will be very close to your actual score.

Do what you feel comfortable with.

good luck!
