Why would u fail after all that? U r definitely not going to fail. Worst is u might get a 97 not a 99. that wouldn't be so bad now would it be.

Edie, If u think U will fail, I shud really go trekking this moment and forget about it all.

Im not trying to belittle ur anxiety. I am sure it is magnaminous. It is natural. But I want to you know, You are a winner and will always be one for me.


That is just the sweetest thing ever...thank you, Med cool

Hi, everyone.

Hello Kity, for NBMEs, you should do them in order of difficulty, 1,2, 4 and 3 is how it was for me. My exam was like a mix of all four forms. For scoring them, just multiply your percentage correct by 3 to get a guesstimate 3-digit score. Gogeta suggested to subtract 20 from scores for forms 1 and 2 for better estimate, since those are easier. Another good guideline is that 31 of 50 correct is a passing score of ~186, so aim high.

Hi Mytime, thank you, warms sun rays always welcome here!

Hi Shwe, I am not worried anymore. I refuse to get all balled up into a knot. My mom told me to "let go and let God" which is basically the jist of what all of you here have been saying wink So I thank you all for the guidance and golden words, prayers and advice. HHHHHHHHUUUUUGGGGGGSSSSSSSSSS!!!

  #883

Do the best after work very hard , you already did, pray the best with pray very hard daily .. now you & we all are doing .

Good Luck nodnodnodnodnodnodnodnod here with lucky 8 smiley


  #885

Good morning all. Thanks for the smileys, Shwe! Yes, I am finally starting to calm down, and do hope it stays that way all the way through until I get those results. I am starting to feel like I passed again, and will keep this feeling no matter what nod

Now, to re-affirm:

I claim the fact that I have PASSED Step 1.
No matter the score, it will be the perfect score for me.
It will be the score I need to continue on my path as a medical student, then as an intern, then as a medical resident, then as a fellow, and finally, as a board-certified practicing physician.



And now, who's up next? I know Med's going on the 17th, Monday. I know she is going to kick the crap out of that exam nod She can, and she will smiling face

Ed , thought will see u here more for sure , guess not , later thensad

GL on ur score nodcoolnod

  #891

Me too, Shwe, but trying to tie up all my school business AND read AND practice...and it's not working well for me, my mind keeps coming back to that exam! Hope this is all over in a couple days. Then i can have closure. My life without scores is basically at a standstill. None of the non-medicos in my life, except for my hubby, truly understand what I am going through right now. And an advisor told me that scores aren't everything, that clinical grades have more weight with residency--BAH!!! School can say whatever they want to, because they just want you to pass, no matter how low, just pass. Once you graduate, you are at the mercy of ERAS and program directors and application stats filters and...ok, i am on a rant now, but so suffice is to say that I am feeling enormous pressure today, at this moment.

On another note, I am always here for you, Shwe, and everyone else nod I am not going anywhere yet wink

  #892

I am now one day before learning my fate. I feel fine today. Either way, no matter what, I am at peace smiling face I hope New-n_Lost is also ok, and I hope we both get the results we deserve tomorrow.

Thinking about Medoc. The first word that come to mind is "excellence". And that's not Yang being "Izzy-optimistic", that's me being realistic. I went over her journal again, and noticed a HUGE difference in her preps early on and then a couple months before the test. So I am certain that success is hers, without a doubt nod So here's to you. Medoc!!! Good luck to you on the next phase of your journey--the MATCH!!!


  #893

Awwe! You have been thinking about me. I hope it was all real. It just seems so weird now.

I so know what u went through. Ha ha ha..* sheepish grin* Im taking some of my reprimands back. sticking out tongue

Tom eh? I am right here waiting to know. Good luck. Thanks for all the help. And I hope we keep in touch.


  #894

So am I. grin best wishes!!!!!!!! U'll have a great day tomorrow! wink

  #895

are we going to start a 'good luck for your score' thread somewhere?grin [shwe, you listening, sis??sticking out tongue]

edie, you maybe need my luck to turn your 250 in to a 255 or something. but, up to 250-ish, you've done it on your own, gurl!!nod

but still, LUUUUUUCK!!smiling face

You learnt all , I will b ur pt as good DOC u will b, so do well in clinical too , so I will b sure u will b my DOC .winkgrin Now we talk like yang & mel sticking out tongue

GL Edie Yang nodnodnodnodnodnodnodnod

  #897

Good luck to u. I have no idea what u r going through right now. but I can pretty much imagine how unnerving it must be.

What ever happens, and I am sure that it will be positive I have realised it is best to move on. There is no such thing as failure or in your case a 97 instead of a 99 it is only a small set back. grin

  #898

All the best in the world - for your score, edie!!!! Stay strong!!!

  #899

Thanks Bioguy! Hi Mytime, Shwe, Paheli and Medoc. Yes, I am fighting the urge to stay up all night until my score gets in, crazy, huh? I got to the 3rd chapter of Harry Potter, Shwe, instead of the Bates and FA for Wards. I still have a couple weeks to cover them, plus the small stack of papers from school to read and a couple research articles. Am putting more time into working out, felt the need to make up for lost time. Spent a little time looking at what people had to say about CK in the Step 2 forums. Oh, the hoops through which we all must jump shaking head

  #900
