Folks I am very depressed after looking my score report. I studied continously for 9 months and I found 172/72 score on my report. I were very confident after taking the exam, nywayz now that it has happened, would you suggest me when to take the exam again. I studied all possible material, CMDT and revised kaplan atleast 5 times, can you suggest me any other study material / approach for the exam, I am taking my Step 2 CS on April 11th and want to take this exam after Step 2 CS. As any other examinee I am terribly depressed and want to go back to my home country,I never flunked in any of my career exams and m heartbroken. I guess you guys would give me some confidence. Thanks,

Can you give me more confidence, still I am heartbroken. how do I start fresh? Will the failure stop me from getting into residency?

suggestion is look at your score sheet and concentrate first on the areas that you had the scored the weakest. you should also consider USMLEWORLD and do Kaplan QReview. Try NBME 1 1 month before exam and NBME 2 two weeks before exam... so you can have a better grasp on where you stand. you can read as much as you want but if you dont really understand the basic concepts, you're screwed. Same thing happen to me, although i found that in my exam, i had so many questions from Usmle Step 1.. which i didnt bother reviewing over.
