My exam is currently scheduled for August 17th and I have already done one pass of First Aid (took about 2 months) and will probably go through it several times again and I am on my second pass of sketchyMicro for microbiology.

Currently doing 40 uWorld questions a day and I am hitting 55%-65% average depending on how easy/hard the question set I get are. My average is now around 60% and it's been pretty much flat-lined.

I've also hit 70% multiple times when I do well and 50% when I do poorly.

Am I in a bad position? How difficult is the actual test to the uWorld questions?

You have some time I would leave Uworld for dedicated and try to finish Rx or Kaplan first to cement stuff

How far into UW are you?

I'm about 80% of the way into it, I've plateaued around the 60% average at this stage (the graph on the cumulative performance). Started off around 50% before I finished first aid.

Have you been taking notes or making Anki cards along the way? And have you taken a practice exam yet?
