Once you get a bunch of "data points", then you can also use "predict my Step score" online or the Amboss score predictor, which are both pretty accurate. A lot of people say UWSA2 is not as predicative. Importantly, I also plotted the y=x diagonal Really happy with NBME 10 today. I got a 77% on Free120 and a 228 on UWSA2 just 3 days before. if ms mz sd xx er bj tm fp hu
