Dr. Pumpkin, listen man you passed......didn't you? that is more than a lot of people can say! so be happy and look forward. Step 2 is more about clinical situations, treatment, next step in management. As far as i am concerned you don't need to go over step 1 again (YOU PASSED IT)... just gather yourself and stop losing hope. POSITIVE ENERGY MAN!

i agree with eta, you have passed step 1 and this is not a bad move; so encourage yourself and go on with step 2; many doctors take step 2 b4 step1 so i dont think you should worry about this point... good luck
