Don't think too much about percentiles. Focus on the logic behind the questions and even your own strategy about why you chose an answer. The percentiles really don't matter. Also don't feel that you have to know everything about every topic--it won't help you, because chances are you might not even see 99% of it on the test. Be confident in what you know, continue to practice every day but in the day or two before the test DON'T study; take a break, let your brain breathe, and do something nice for yourself. And, if you really must stress about it, those scores are quite good by NCLEX standards.
I am taking the NCLEX the same day as you (in 10 days), those scores are good based on what I have heard. I am using Kaplan and UWorld, and based on my research on here, UWorld is most similar to the NCLEX. As for percentiles in UWorld, As pp have stated just continue practicing questions, review the rationales and relax day before the exam. My father told me something today as I expressed my fear for the exam. He said "don't entertain any fear. Just go in confident and say I am going to pass, I am going to succeed no question at all!" For some reason that gave me the confidence and courage needed to continue studying and wait until I conquer the exam!
