My scores are dropping a wk before my test

[patonow]

I'm an IMG hoping to get around 230 in step 2 CK.

My test is scheduled for next Wednesday but suddenly since Tuesday my scores started dropping in my UWorld q bank.
Since I started this qbank a month ago I never got below 60%. Last week I was getting btw 66-73% suddenly since Tuesday, from the 7 blocks I've done, 5 of them have been below 60%
I took UW test 2 weeks ago and got 230.
NBME on the last week of august was 360
My average in Uworld till Monday had been 65% never below that. Now is 63%.... I still have over 800Qs
I did kaplan's Qbank before this, and I've read MTB 3 times.
I also have a notebook filled with notes from qbank
Should I just change my test date now? If I am going to change it I can't wait too long cause the availability in Boston is really low. My last month in my availability period is October....

Any thoughts?

Whats happening with you is very normal .scores do drop in uworld its normal ,it shows u r weak in that area(everybody is weak in some area)
U should complete these 800 Qs ,then do the wrong ones again or if u have time do the whole uworld again .Then take a nbme .If u do not trust NBME ,do free150 in the website ,if u get more than 80%-85% ,u r good to go, take the exam .
UWSA is the best predictor of your exam ,but u have already used it .

@patonow: Did you read your kaplan qbank notes before going to UW?

Maybe if you read your weak areas in MTB and kaplan qbank notes while doing UW, it might help.

Here you go http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=939891

Since many people (majority of AMGs) just give UWSA and no nbme for step 2 CK ,the UWSA accuracy has increased ,just because of the sheer no. of students taking just UWSA .
I still have to find out for myself though.
Also, from recent experiences I have read ,the UWSA was closest and nbme has a disparity in prediction .

NBME are too old for CK (>4-5 year old) ,not like step 1 where we have new NBME every year
