i got my score yest. i hardly passed. i feel v sad ,u know how it is when u work so hard and dont get the reward.Tell me guys what should i do now, its 75. I dont feel like studying for step2 now.I dont think il get a residency with such a low score ,i am IMG..

  #2

guess what, if you scored 75, that is PASS!!!

So get off your depression mat, have fun with friends, take a vacation. then start preparing for step 2. this time with more focus, determination, better plans and dedication and you will get the 99 you desire.

i have friends who sat step 1 3x and step 2 2x and they got residencies so dont despair. there is hope.

thanks tolito..ur right i had poor guidence .i hope i have good guidence this time.I just kept asking one person for advice and that person didnt do me ne good.i hope things are better this time.

The point is they will not allow you to make another try once you've got a pass stand.rolling eyes

  #5

never mind not being able to resit step 1 in the hope of getting better scores. i hear a first time pass is always better than a second time 99. good luck at step 2.
