200 on NBME after 7 wks of studying

[perivenularMS]

Hi all. I've been studying for Step 1 for the past 7 weeks. Here is the progression I've had thus far:

CBSE: 168
NBME 17: 178
USWA 1: 205
NBME 15: 198
NBME 13: 201

My question is: what should I do to improve in the next 7 weeks? My goal score is a 230 but I'll be happy with a 210-220. Is that possible? How?

I've done one round of UWorld (53%) and all of sketchy micro and pharm and pathoma.
I cannot just sit down and "read" first aid so I did Zanki for a few subjects and I feel good about those subjects, but it was tiring doing 1,000 anki cards a day so I stopped. Should I go back to zanki?

What is the best way for me to improve by at least 20 points in the next 7 weeks that I have left to study for this exam?

How did you go through UWorld? Did you just read the correct answers? Have you gone through a review of the other subjects (Physio, biochem, behavior, anatomy)?

Are you U.S. M.D. student? If so, what was your MCAT score?
