I am hoping someone can help me. I find out yesterday that I failed step 2 by 1 point. I am still in denial as I was doing pretty good on usmleworld. I was between 55-65%. My dilemma is what should I do in terms of books? I use Kaplan notes and first aid step 2.

Also does anyone know what are my chances for scramble? Can I still scramble? I am an IMG.

Please help

I am thinking sometimes in May or June. I don't think is possible to take sooner. THis exam has made me lost confidence in myself.

I was reading the materials in kaplan and doing section by section. The last month I was combining all the questions and I was doing pretty decent. The only thing that i can think of is the fact the usmleworld question was shorter and the real exam was long and it was harder.

Thanks for the reply

I also failed and want to see the best review materials...
Kaplan Lecture notes seems to be lacking...is that true?
