Sorry to hear that. I haven't heard of recheck working out. But you can try...no harm in trying recheck. You were really close....I am sure you will do good on your next attempt. Good Luck

i have heard before (don't know if it's true, but always wanted to ask if it is), that if you have failed one disciplin you fail the exam, and it doesn't matter how good other disciplins are....sorry...i can't imagin what you must feel like....
good luck to you in your future scores

I personally several people that paid for the recheck and had the same grade.

I did not knew that if you fail one area you fail the test, I taught that if you faild one area you need at least 2 areas in high performence.

THE SCORES ARE ACCUMULATIVE NOT DISCIPLINE BASED. FAILING IN ONE AREA DOES NOT MEAN YOU FAIL IN WHOLE EXAM. ONLY STEP 2 CS IS DISCIPLINE BASED. IF U FAIL IN ANY AREA, U FAIL THE WHOLE EXAM.

actually..there MAY be some truth to that..i dont get it because i had SOOO many areas very very very high..renal repro and cardio literally went to the highest end..yet i had a star on the bottom for anatomy and that was my ONLY star..neuro was toward the bottom..but EVERY OTHER SUBJECT crossed INTO the higher area well past border..all in all it doesnt look right at all..honestly..i think there is some truth to that if you fail one discipline they will not pass you..where did you hear this by the way im curious

It is more likely that neuro was a big part of your exam, and the difference maker between passing and failing.
