eat, sleep, dream UW( +12h/day) at least 15 days and with some luck you'll pass with a low score. But you should have a plan "B"

87,87 in step 1 and 2, doing Residency (PGY-1), obviously no time to study, keep listening to Kaplan and reviewing material, (which I thought I have mastered) and getting 55% in overall UW,(Did twice) Kaplan 60to 70% (did thrice) , took exam so that 600$ will not be wasted with mere 2 days fulltime preparation. 73.Failed.
Now this 340 in NBME. With no time to study, it is thoroughly frustating that I need to do things which I know I can, but not able to spend enough time with books. It is like going to boxing match with your hands tied to back. Any suggestions from those who are doing residency? I spend 106 to 127 hours on average in hospital doing work which is not useful for passing the exam.
I can study 10 hours a day without blinking and have this burning under the belly to get rid off this exam and feel happy.
IS 340 ENOUGH TO PASS THE EXAM? I got 540 when I did NBME for step2 !
Is there hope to pass this exam while doing Residency ?
All kinds of advice and suggestions wanted.Thanks very many for the same.

pediatrics, 127 hours per week, that is. I think my confidence is quite low now, and that is a serious problem. I have my vacation now next month, and I have to give it a serious try to overcome this burden with flying colours.Thanks Manhakeem for concern
