My Step 1 is scheduled for October 15, so I’m officially one week out and starting to get really anxious

My NBME scores are :
NBME 26: 66%
NBME 27: 67%
NBME 28: 69%
NBME 29: 70%
NBME 30: 72%
NBME 31: 72%
NBME 32: 75%
NBME 33: 76%
So overall, I’m happy with the trend, but I’m really confused/bothered by my UWSA scores.

gave UWSA 1, 2, and 3 and got 67% on all three. I couldn’t seem to get that score up despite my NBMEs improving, and now I’m scared that maybe I’m missing something.

I still have to take NBME 34 and the Free 120, which I’m planning to do this week.

For people who tested recently, do you think I’m in a good position to sit for the exam? And what would you recommend doing during this final week?
Should I focus mostly on reviewing NBME mistakes/weak areas, do UWorld incorrects, review high-yield topics, Mehlman, etc.? Are there any specific topics you’d really recommend making sure I know before test day?
Would really appreciate any advice from people who were in a similar position.

I just took NBME 28 and feel like I’ve plateaued around the same score since I started.
NBME 26: 66%
NBME 27: 66%
NBME 28: 69%
I’ve been taking one NBME per week. In between, I’ve been doing some Mehlman PDFs, reviewing my exams, and trying to work on my weak areas, but honestly, nothing seems to be making a significant difference.
The biggest issue is that I feel like I’m guessing my way through almost half of the exams. I usually understand what the question is roughly asking, but I often end up narrowing it down to 2–3 options and then just guessing.
It’s starting to feel like I don’t actually know as much as I should, even though I’ve been studying consistently.
what can i do about it ?
