HI,
JUST WANT TO LET U ALL KNOW I DID THE TEST AS PLANNED LAST WEEK. COULD NOT BRING MY SELF TO POST MY EXPERIENCE AFTER A TRAUAMATIZED DAY. I FEEL ALOT BETTER NOW AND TRYING TO MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE.
MY 1 ST BLOCK WAS THE HARDEST, IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT THAN UW, NOTHING CLOSE TO THE NBME, BLOCK 3, 4 & 5 WERE THE FAIREST, ABOUT UW LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY, BLOCK 6 , 7, & 8 WERE AGAIN DIFFICULT & I BECAME REALLY TIRED & EXHAUSTED. THE AV LENGTH OF QS WAS 7-8 LINES, GOT A COUPLE WITH UP TO 2 PAGES, HAD TO SCROLL DOWN.MOST QS I COULD NARROW DOWN TO 3 QS & THAT WAS IT, JUST HAVE TO MAKE A GOOD GUESS & MOVE ON, OTHERS COULDNT TELL WHAT THE CASE WAS ALL ABOUT SO CANT TELL THE NEXT STEP IN MX. GOT ALOT OF QS FROM IM, LOTS OF EMERGENCY MEDS, ONCOLOGY.TRAUMA,CARDIO(ECG) ETC
I PREPARED FOR 5 MONTHS , WITH KAPLAN NOTES, LECTURES,QB, UW, I FELT VERY READY FOR THE TEST AND WAS SURE TO GIVE IT MY BEST BUT WAS SHOCKED AT WHAT I SAW.
I PRAY THAT THE GOOD LORD SEE ME THROUGH THIS TRAUMATIZING PERIOD, I PRAY THAT THE BEST IS YET TO COME & MY HARD WORK WILL NOT BE IN VAIN.

hey dont worry, you will definitely PASS this exam. I felt the same afterward, and the rewarding came in 3-4 weeks.
Good luck on a great score...
enjoy in the mean time (that as if you has done step 1 & CS  )

Hello infliximab...Congratulations on being done with the test - that in itself is an achievement. I am sure you did just fine and we will be hearing a positive outcome for you in 3 weeks' time. In the interim relax and enjoy...you deserve it after all the hard work. :-)

Hi
I see that it was a hard day for you. most people who finish the test do not feel like they did great. In the end everthing turns out fine. so for now i would forget about the test. and enjoy my time off. i am sure things will go ok.

Hi AlinaT

Now it is your turn.I hope that both of you will say same story as already predicted by you.
all have same feeling that we could have done better, but as this is a comparative score we usually end up with good score.

infliximab, MY BEST WISHES!! returning to you now. you'll feel better in a few days, when you start to forget the qs u got wrong or was unsure of. and then you're relaxed for 2 weeks, and start to be jittery again while waiting everyday for score to be reported..... Life is so wonderful with its ups and downs, ain't it..... Let's keep our fingers crossed!
