Exam on 3rd June — looking for final phase advice + nutrition changes?

Hey everyone. My Step 1 is booked for 3rd June and I wanted some advice for the final stretch of prep.

NBME scores (chronological order):
- NBME 26: 82%
- NBME 31: 78.5%
- NBME 27: 80.5%
- NBME 28: 84%
- Old Free 120 (2022): 75.8%

QBank:
- UWorld: ~75% average (80+ % completed)
- AMBOSS: ~75% average (75% completed)

Resources done:
- BnB
- Pathoma
- Bootcamp
- Currently doing Mehlman PDFs + some Anki + Mehlman YouTube QBank videos

Current daily routine:
- 1 mixed timed block
- 1 weak-topic block/review
- Anki + PDFs
- Mehlman videos at night

Main weak areas:
- Biostats
- Ethics/behavioral
- Some repro/OBGYN
- Occasionally anatomy

A few questions:

  1. Does this seem safe for a 3rd June attempt or should I delay?
  2. Any advice for the real exam format/stamina compared to NBMEs?
  3. Best way to improve ethics/biostats in the final weeks?
  4. Since nutrition is now part of Step 1, is there anything extra I should specifically study for it or is standard biochem/nutrition from UWorld enough?
  5. Anything you wish you had done differently in the last 2–3 weeks before your exam?

Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
