Advice for my final week?

I started my dedicated period on 1/29. I'm scheduled to take the exam in a week. My scores aren't amazing, but they started pretty low. My goal is 220-230. Currently I'm going through my final read of FA and finishing the last ~500 uworld q's I have.

Practice scores:

  • 1/28: NBME 15 129/200 (64.5%) - 173
  • 2/22: NBME 17: 150/200 (75%) - 198
  • 3/3: USMLE Free 120: 90/120 (75%) - apparently around 211?
  • 3/10: NBME 19: 166/200 (83%) - 217

I've done about 80% of uworld with a cumulative score of 62.1% if that matters.

Obviously I wanna do the best I can do but ultimately I just want to pass, especially considering my low baseline. But I definitely feel as though I'm approaching burnout and forgetting things.

I'm planning to do 1 or maybe 2 more practice exams to hone in on my weak areas. Should I do another NBME or one of the UWSAs (1 or 2)? Any tips to battle burnout, what I should do, or general advice is appreciated!
