CONGRATS EDIE...Man you did it...Thats awesome. I am sure you're gonna kill +squash+ squeeze STEP 2 till it has no life in it. Dude don't be down 82 is an awesome score. I certainly would be more than happy to achieve something like that. I am really really proud of you....YOU ROCK EDIE. . I hope i can join you in STEP 2 form.

Thanks everyone, so much!!!
NNL, well, I was hoping for at least 90. I know for a fact that I lost many points panicking at the start of my test. So people, try to keep cool best as possible during your test! Breathe, pray, chant, close eyes, count to 10 or some number, whatever it takes to get you back to calm, cool and collected. Panic during the test = lost points!

Edie CONGRATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! you are done with the worst exam of your life. Trust me nothing is as bad as this one is. Even final MBBS will be a breeze. You did well. It is time to move on. No pains, no regrets no complaining. You haven't even done 4th year yet..so go become a doctor. Who knows may be some day we would be working together. Keep in touch girl!

Hi, Edie, I don't agree more with you. The first block is very hard for me. I wasted a lot of time on single question. The worst is I began panic. I feel very bad. The first 2 blocks are the worst.
Calm, feel free for the difficult questions and making mistakes. This test permits you to make a lot of mistakes.

oh, i'm so happy for you!! yes, i am!! now, you can pull out the champagne!! bubbly, anyone?? *my hand waaaaaaaaay up!!*
what plans now, until you get back to school? spare 10-15 mins a day on us poor souls, please?
hey, btw, bet you're smiling away widely, the way i saw sandra oh at an emmy picture. she was positively grinning, and i didn't relate to that so much, coz am so very used to your avi now.
your prep has stood you in good stead, now make sure you capitalize on that in the clinics as well. pappi's voice may not be heard as often, but you can replace it with your own voice, and keep asking yourself - MECH-anism, MECH-anism..........!!!
have fun, luv!!

CONGRATULATIONS edie.. its a decent score ... you did your best but somethings are beyond our control... panicking ine xam centre or during prep really costs us... but we are human afterall... cant help it... We all know how difficult & stormy is teh journey of all usmle steps.. but above all your attitude was really admirable thruoghout the journey.. you will be alwasy in my thought as BRAVE COURAGEOUS Girl... REally admire the way you & MEDOCK handled your last prep days...
GOOD LUCK FOR for everything... & enjoy

sorry Ed , I know ur IMS, just try to pull ur legs , that's why I said ur score is decent good one , is like high score since ur studying everything in v. short time within ur school free time in ur own style , but without missing some major materials being have not been a previlege of AMS school special learning , aim for exm to pass courses .
But since u will/ might have clinical rotations in states, that makes me carry away as future AMG , cause clinical training in states , sh deserve to b as AMG or IMG-AMG .
So u might join afrocaribb , our sis in clinical rotation .
ur welcome, Have fun chat with the medicine GOD !!!
Well, though do not want to, someone make me to , so withhold food will keep u away fr c/o ur score which is decently good , for ur good sake Edie Yang , for ur peace of mind 
Ok , enjoy the free moment , b4 really busy with clinical rotations .
GL in ur future

Wow, the posts here really do mean a lot to me, thank you all for your appreciation and your congratulations. Medoc, you hit the nail on the head--it was indeed the WORST thing ever But every dark cloud has a silver lining. I learned so much about myself and my own limitations in the process. I learned how to be my worst enemy and how to eliminate that type of thinking. So many things that I think will actually make me a better student from now on. Thank you Medoc, Study, Shwe, SSS, Vwilldoit, Niu, Kity and Paheli. Best wishes to you all!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Edie Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad you joined the 'passed Step1 club', haha! Now welcome to the pre-Step2 club, I went through the sample questions yesterday before studying and must say: it seems a lot more doable than Step1! So, keep it up and stay with me/us!!!
