Not going to finish the qbank -- should I resched?

I'm at 652 questions done, 1469 remaining. My score is 59% and 72nd percentile :S My exam is in a week.

I'm not the fastest reader, and I have a difficult time sitting for hours and hours at a time (ie people that can do TWO 75 question quizzes a day AND read rationales!) I've been doing Mark K audios (finishing today) + 50 question quizzes then reading all rationales

Should I push my exam back another week to cover more rationales or just go for it? My last exam was a 58% which broke my heart. my exams will range in the 50's and 60's, a few 70's and a couple 40's. I started out by subject (and saw my scores improving), but now that I'm running out of time I'm doing ALL.

EDIT: I know I could end up with a 265 question test, but I'l definitely be using breaks and have accepted I may run out of time if that happens.

your score is great at 59% and 72nd percentile. and your exam ranges is very high compared to the average score. i say go for it! =) a lot of people who scored like yours passed with 75 questions.

when did you graduate?

i graduated december 2015 and taking mine on august 8. i studied for about 4 weeks because i needed to refresh my memory and started uworld with scores in the 40s to 50s and worked my way up to 60s and one i got 70. i have around 600 left.

Thanks for the encouragement! I graduated this spring, then took about a month off and started studying at the end of June. I wish I'd started UWorld sooner.

If you haven't already rescheduled it, I wouldn't. I would take it. I ONLY did 800 UWorld questions. Graduated 4 years ago and passed the NCLEX with 85 questions in under 2 hours. I'm a single mom of a 19 month old Toddler and was taking BSN classes part time. You got this!

Hi, your scores are awesome! I recommend taking the 'self assessment' exams and that will help your confidence as well.

Hey,
I'm new to UWorld and I got to 180 days trial Qbank. I noticed that there were only 60 questions; I mean it's showing that it has 60 questions. Is that the amount that uworld 180 day thing has? I noticed that you guys at are like 200 questions;will I also be able to get that many? Sorry i'm new to uworld.
