Step 3 before residency

Hi everyone,
I’m preparing for USMLE Step 3 and wanted some honest advice regarding my readiness.
UWorld: 94% completed
UWorld average: 67%
NBME 6 offline: ~65%
I’m planning to take the exam in about 3 weeks before starting residency in June. I matched into a preliminary Internal Medicine position, so I’m also wondering:
Do these scores suggest I’m reasonably ready to sit for the exam in 3 weeks?
What would you recommend focusing on during the final stretch (CCS, biostats, incorrects, CMS-style review, etc.)?
Since I have a prelim position, how much does the actual Step 3 score matter versus simply passing?
Would really appreciate guidance from people who were in a similar situation. Thanks!
