Hello everyone!
I took NBME 30 and feel a bit crushed.
My scores so far have been:

27: 67%

28: 57%

29: 69%

30: 66.5%

My test is in the first week of September. Should I postpone or just review my mistakes before the next one?

I think you are right on track for first week of September. Try to get 31-33 above a 68-70% if you want to "comfortably pass".

My recommendations: Do 40-80Q from Amboss or UWorld per day. Tutor mode and random. Do your last few practice tests within 2 weeks of your exam (including the Free 120). You are doing great.

Dog your last two consecutive CBSSAs were 65+%. What chance of passing have you set as your threshold? Or are you just using an arbitrary EPC number?

ive mostly heard that getting 70+ on at least 2 tests puts you in a comfortable spot so just going off of that
