Priya and DaddyO...thanks for sharing your experiences and I must say that I have never, ever read such depressing accounts on any forum. I sympathise with the two of you..But i feel like you guys might be underminning your capabilities here. you guys got through med school so that shows your bright ..you guys i assume have passed step 1 which is a great indicator that you know how to take these exams. I feel you guys are a little more depressed and negative about your exams then you should be. A lot of people feel terrible comming out of the exam thinking the absolute worst but..its also true that most those people end up passing. Now if your scoring over a 60 in UW first time round..its very hard to believe that you wont pass this exam...and I know this from the many friends who have passed this beast with UW scores in the range of 52-70. Also anyone that understands/knows Kaplan notes inside out will for sure do enough to at the very least pass this exam.
So my point here is to let you guys know that this is NOT an impossible exam..no exam is if you have put your honest sweat and blood into it..otherwise no one would have been able to pass those exams..and its false to think that they will give one set of students an exam which will not be passable..cause remember..tough exams have larger curves! I am sure both your exams did..and I am sure you guys got through them fine!
Wishing you guys the best

To everyone,
I have passed Step2 CK, the results are out today , I took mine on Dec 27th. Check your ERAS, if it says new USMLE transcript available to download, then call a residency program where you have applied and ask them your result.

same thing. Took mine dec 22. i was so mad at nbme!! i score there 760 ( 30 below the top score or something similar). when i was at the actual exam i felt almost as if i had waisted my time studying I could had taken it 1 month before and it could have been the same. in 1 block i mark 16 questions!!! my mistake was I took step 2 before step 1 . i graduated from med school 5 years ago in argentina and thought it would be easier to start with clinical knowledge . there were many questions that i think were from step 1.
Though I have to tell you it was very relieving to hear your experiences. think we are in the same boat. crosssing finger for next week. hope well get updated!!
