Hi everyone first want to say thanks to all the people here this forum is great i have passed step 1 and step 2cs but just found out i did not pass step2ck i got a 177 and 73. I was close and thats what really hurts. I used all the materials people said . I studied for two months without doing anything else. I studied the 2006-2007 Kaplan notes three times and did usmle world twice with 63 then 67 percent. i thought the test was really hard. anyway my lowest percentage was in management so i need advice on how to prepare for this. sorry about this post when shoud i take the test again and what materials should i use or stick to what i used thank you

ram3, Sorry to hear about that. I agree exactly with ash123. I just got my score today, it is 88. not as high as I wanted. I do not have another chance to get a higher one. But you do. So chin up and do it again. My mistake is that I only used UW 3 weeks before my exam, I wish I could practice more with it and understood more by my heart. I have problem with time management and was caught up at several points during the exam. That took away alot points. Do you ever have time problem? or just too nervous on the exam day? I think your preparation was better than mine. Never give up! You'll get a perfect one next time. One time down does not mean you are not a good doctor. So just redo it when your memory is still so fresh with a real exam experience. then you'll make it! BTW, how is your step1 score?

Sorry to hear that,but i think you just need to muster up all the courage and go for it again.It might be difficult to get into the rhythm again after a failure but once you get into that rhythm just be steady and you will get a much higher score .May be you would not want to take a long break again ,since you a are already fresh from step 2,,just what i think.All the best.

ram3: Don't lose faith in yourself. You are a doctor, you have passed many many tests, you can do it! Breath, take your time to recover emotionally, and go for it again. The next news you'll give us is going to be much much better! Good luck, I am praying for you.

Hi, ram3, sorry about that. Since you passed step 1 and cs, and your USMLEworld score was really good, you definitely have a good chance to get a high score next time. I guess you had some accidents mistakes in the test, or you just need more preparing time and practice the USMLEworld tests more until you can get most qs right. Don't give up, you already had 2/3 passed. Calm down and do it again. you will have a nice score.
