Hi ..
I will be honest with you
Unless you score a high score in your second attempt and get all other exams from teh first attempt, you will have very hard time getting a residency position ...
not trying to put you down or anything, but you need to know that to get an interview, most programs have secretaries or computer system to filter application according to scores ( and obviously to number of attempts ! )
good luck
:oops:

U may also see a failure as a new chance to get a good score on that exam instead of passing with a low score :!:
I would prefer this option if I would have to choose.
Best for you, usmle2004!

Work hard and do not apply for the exam till u know ur almost ready to do excellent on the test.....
This is the best approach....find a study partner and divide the material together....and u'll do fine.....
These i think u wld be able to get into
Pathology
familypractice
Psychiatry
These with a good score and maybe not such a great program....
Int. Medicine
Pediatrics
Emergency Med
But do not take my word for it......just do well on the exam......and God will help u.....
and luck plays big time role for everybody
