@@alfarouqelboom8465 thanks for asking! Was aiming 260 but got a 245. I'm a US IMG. Took Step 1 years ago and prepared for 2ck in 4,5 months. Although I was aiming higher I knew that I needed 1 month for 2nd Uworld pass to get closer to the target. Nontheless, I decided not to change test date and my score was exactly in between NBMEs and UWSAs. So the exams were very predictive. I am happy with my score after taking into account I will be able to apply this year. Hope you ace/d it!

Great video, just one thing to watch out for. Eggs on the day of the test might not be a great option if you're not used to eating them for breakfast regularly. They can easily cause GI problems, especially if undercooked. I talk from personal experience :D

For any regular exam, like a 3 hour exam. Drink the coffee an hour before. This optimizes the duration of the caffeine. It will kick in and serve you right in time. I know I can drink a full cup without getting exam anxious. So I drink a full one. Since caffeine blocks a specific molecule from binding in the brain. A molecule that multiplies in number during the day. It doesn't hurt to start early with caffeine and space it out from start morning till into the exam.
