NBME is more of a good predictor and I think you are on edge. I would reschedule if I were you because it is a big risk. I would finish the entire UW and then take a couple of more NBME's.....Maybe someone else has some other opinion but this is what I think...In either case I wish you good luck and I hope things work out for you.

It's a tough decision...I agree with mfandtr...nbme is a better predictor of scores, have you done any other nbme's recently?.....according to your score you would get a low pass or a high fail I think. People have mentioned on this forum UWSA overestimates your score. I dunno what kind of score you are aiming for...if you are just looking to pass, maybe you can go for it but it's still risky.
I would also reschedule...I've had to do this once before, in my case, I applied for the exam before I even started studying for it...other things came up & I couldn't even start studying for it...extended my eligibility period by 3 months thinking maybe I could start studying & take the exam...eventually didnt take the exam (lost all the money) But it's better than failing it or getting a very low score.
Just my opinion...good luck whatever you decide!

fred q's are easier than the actual exam...nbme's are the best predictor for most people.
