Yes, I was thinking that Yulia and Meg will welcome me to their club of Above 90 but I didn't make it. :lol: despite the fact that they shared their secrets. I just couldn't make it friends.
I am thankful of GOD that I am in the crowd 8) with 88/216.
And I am moving on, knowing that I have a last chance with step3 to be accepted in the restricted club :lol: :cry: . Hopefully there is a residency program director out there waiting for me.
Thank you Yulia, Meg and Anno.

Yeh, yeh. I was hoping to recover from very low score of 76/ 187 on step1 but I guess I am still dealing with the sequellaes.
No experience to share but mistakes to ovoid if you can: being unstable, changing answers at the exam.
I feel like it is going to be delusional to think of a surgery residency. That is sad.

Thanks Asmi, I really appreciate your words and I wish you the best for your exam, you have been working hard in this forum.
The fact is I need to get real so that I can apply to the residencies I can get and not lose time and money. I am sure you understand that.
I think I am going to buy a scrub and use it as a pijama, may be after a while, the obsession will go away. :lol: :lol:

You know what, I was scared too,and I am still scare and I had a lot to worry about when I was taking those steps. At some point, I realized that I was using my problems as an excuse to not focus on studying and it did hurt a lot my scores. Step1 score taught me a lot about myself. I tried to do everything different for Step2 and it helped. But in the end I have allowed myself to doubt about my abilities and changed answers during the exam. '' Believe in yourself , that's the place to start"
You can do it, because I almost did it to my score goal. If you look around you will realize that you have a lot to be proud of.
I want to keep contact with you.

i know that my biggest mistake is my insecurity, i have to believe more in myself. i and think that im loosing time thinking about what i did wrong in step 1, bwing too thought on me, justifying something that doesn t make any difference now. i have to think only about step 2 as a whole new STEP and forget completly about step 1. thanks for your reply, ill keep you informed
