Got the P with actual low NBMEs (highest 65%)

I know i needed posts like this two months ago so here it is

UWSA1: 48% (8 weeks out)
NBME 28: 51% (7 weeks out)
UWSA: 54% (6.5 weeks out)
NBME 30: 50% (6 weeks out)
NBME 31: 61.5% (4 weeks out)
NBME 29: 63.5% (3 weeks out)
NBME 27: 65% (2.5 weeks out)
NBME 32: 64% (2 weeks out)
NBME 26: 68% (first 2 blocks) (10 days out)
NBME 33: 64% (1 week out) - was expecting above 70% but welp
Free 120 2024: 66% (5 days out) - was above 65% so did not care atp
Free 120 2026: 59% (3 days out) - freaked out but too late to delay

Between nbme 30 and 31
I lacked stamina so I did 4 Uworld blocks a day and anki reviews
Then deeply reviewed all nbmes, made new anki cards of incorrects & did 1-2 blocks of Uworld + anki reviews

I plateaued close to 65% and I kept reading “you need two 70s or three >68%” but was too tired to care (also thought if I got >60% in the last 7 exams I’m prepared to pass, I am not trying to ace this exam at 75+)
Highly recommend going through NBME images (I saw 1 identical image) few days before the exam !!

Taking nbme 33 tomorrow and free 120 on saturday

Would you recommend doing untouched uwsa3 or just review all previous nbmes? (26-32)

I heard UWSAs are not that close to real deal anyway so not that relevant

I did NBME 28 and 30 about 6 weeks ago and got 50% and 51% each

I just re-did first block of 28 and got 68% and I do remember some questions - and get same ones wrong lol

Is this worth doing it or should i just read over the answers?
