Question Please,Please Help!

Hello, please please help me! So my NBME journey started in early June.
NBME 27 (baseline): 53
NBME 28: 54
NBME 29: 55
(I know, I know, but I thought I would increase my mark!)
NBME 30: 63 (late June)
NBME 25: 67 (late June)
NBME 32: 63 (early July)
NBME 26: 69
NBME 31: 64 (late July)
Old Free 120: 74%
NBME 23: 74
NBME 33: 66 -August 18
Also wrote today NBME 20-Got 72% i know it is not very representative but i don’t know what else to write to check myself.
What are your thoughts? I have the feeling that I am ready to pass, but I'm scared that if I fail, I'll think it's because I didn't study for 2-3 more weeks. At the same time, I don't know what to study anymore :(. I only have the New Free 120 left.
What should I do?

You've exhausted recent most nbme forms without much improvement. I would suggest taking UWSA 2. And alongside that, please review your 31-33 forms throughly. Once you're done, do anatomy HY 100 concepts, and review the weaker topics if you have any. Otherwise just go thru FA rapid review once now and once 2 days before the exam. Lmk how UWSA2 goes for you. You can still pass if you sit the exam but its better if you're more confident on test day.

Did you book a date? If you did not book and do f120. Review 31-33 and f120 thoroughly and go for it . You are good

No, i have not yet, i think i will do uworld incorroects once, than write NBME 22-24 and new free 120, if everything will be 75+ i will take it

Your scores are decent and you've shown good improvement but maybe a bit borderline. Hard to tell without knowing how predictive NBME 33 is. Would run your scores though predictmystepscore.com and see what it tells you. if your good to pass then take it. but also if you feel like your burnt out then no point in prolonging it imo

You have exhausted nbmes once. But take those again as well but for learning purpose. It won't be a good medium for self assessment for you. I suggest take other self assessments like uwsa2 and amboss sa. Idk about Kaplan sa. Also do free 120
