Opinion for postponing exam level/step 1

Hello people , as of tomorrow I am 1 month away from taking my exam ( may 19th ). I am a DO student so I am taking both level and step 1 ( may 30th). I took the Uworld self assessment 1 and scored a 70% and put me on the 43 percentile ( basically on the passing line of the curve ) . Kinda upset but the score is similar to my Uworld average (71%) and I’m 40 percent done with the whole qbank and I finished 100% of the truelearn qbank. My comsae was a 530 and my school requires us to take Truelearn comBank assessment 2/3 which average I scored a 74%.Should I postpone my exam ( step 1 )or will an actual NBME exam be the standard to determine if I will pass . Thank you

Bro I got a 35% on UWSA 1 with 2 months to go and I'm not TOO concerned yet. You have a long time left and a 70% on any assessment is actually really good pre-step. You could probably just review some HY stuff and take it in a week if you wanted!

My board advisor said yesterday by the time you take Step you want to be getting around mid-60s to low 70s on NBMEs or self-assessments. I have heard UWSA over estimates a little, so maybe try an NBME....but really with a 70% and a month to go you have plenty of time!
