 wanted to just post about a really horrible experience that i had and that too of my on creation!!
i gave step 2 today and i think i had studied quite hard kaplan, usmleworld and the stuff....
however i got so tense over the exam that i could not go to sleep the night before
i took 20mg of zolpidem at 3.30 am to go to sleep and then got up at 5.30
for the exam ( i had a centre around 30km away ). i expected the effect of the drug to be over by
8.30 however it was not so and i gave the first 3 hrs in a daze. i have absolutely no memory of what happened
in those three hours....now am waiting for the bad result and crushed dreams....maybe it was plain nerves or it was the drug
just a message to all of u who have not given the test ....DO NOT GET SO TENSE SO AS TO SELF-DESTRUCT! will post score when i get it bye and take care...

I can tell you were confident at least before the test, I mean you were ready for it.
So, you should be fine.
Good luck!

oh my gosh! when i read your post, i had flashbacks of what happened to me during my Step 1. i was so keen on having an 8-hour sleep coz that's what people were advising me to have before the exam. at around 1:30AM, im still wide awake so i decided to take zolpidem also. i woke up at around 6AM and i was really dizzy. i couldnt even stand up. i called up my friend to fetch me and bring me to the test center. i even went to a fast food chain to have brewed coffee but to no avail. while taking the exam, i had 10 unauthorized breaks for falling asleep during the first 3 blocks. after that, i decided to have one hour break and i slept. afterwards, i was still sleepy but better than the first 3 blocks. after the exam, i went to the wash room and i really cried a lot. i prepared for that exam for 4 and half months and and i was even getting 75% on Kaplan Qbank and now this. i just prayed that i would pass Step 1 and luckily i did (78%). im kinda disappointed about the score but its better than to fail. so i worked hard for step 2Ck and never again took sleeping pills and i got 99. Keep the faith dude. you can do it.
