Hi everybody I am an IMG , is my first time i write in this forum even i am a silent reader of you guys for almost a year.
I just got my score today after 3 weeks of anxiety 179 / 72 is the second time i failed. I thought this second time i did good in the exam but the result was so shocking , im devastated .
Time preparation : 8 month
Step 1 score : 179/72
Kaplan cd : 90%
Kaplan q book : 70 %
Kaplan q bank : 80% ( score 60 ) once
UW : 100% ( score 55 ) once
First Aids : twice
NBME ( 2 ) : 390
I think one of my problems is because i was so nervous during the exam and the question was so long , i miss 2 questions each block because the time was no enought .
I m thinking to forget the step 1 for a while and go to step 2 first , What you think?. I also was thinking to quit because any program is going to take me after failed twice but now i dont care what i care is pass step 1 because is like my personal fight, lets see what happen later. What do you guys think? what i should do now? i m really need your advise.
Thanks

One thing that stands out is your NBME score. It's an excellent predictor of where you will fall in your USMLE score. I've heard that you shouldn't approach the test until you make at least a 450 on a practice NBME before attempting to take the test. Read askdocs posts as he has outstanding advice to those who fail the test.
