And my offline NBMEs were also in late 250s and early 260s.
Details: Started with Kaplan videos and notes of each subject followed by the respective section from FA and Uworld offline for each subject. For patho, I did Pathoma videos and Goljan book. Alongside I made my notes from UW and I used to read those in free time.
Then I did FA with DIT and took my 1st online NBME 13.. and did a couple of offline nbmes.
Then I took online Uworld and did it in 38 days.. and annotated my FA. When I was done with 50 percent Uworld I took UWSA 1 and NBME 15 .. then finished my Uworld. And revised my annotated FA. After that, I took NBME 16 and UWSA 2. After that, I kept on reading my FA with Uworld questions at night to keep myself question oriented and took weekly online NBME 18 and 17
Last word of advice: Be consistent, focused and keep working hard!
Good luck people!
