ANy suggestions on what I can do. ANy schools you know MD/DO/ foreign schools I can transfer to? I do want to take the exam again and succeed.. And what is OASIS??

do you have the goljan audio? do you know what your weaknesses are? have you spoken to your dean about your options and how they can help you with your weaknesses? what med school are you in?

Find out your weaknesses-Goljan is a good idea. Do qs!
If you do transfer make sure its one of the big 3-Ross,AUC,or St George
Good luck

Hi BLOOZ,
Ok,I have some suggestions for the exams part,email me vasdef7@yahoo.com

The Goljan audios are to be found on www.coolgoose.com
You need to register in order to be able to download, but it's no big deal.
Then click on music, on search, enter Papi in the search field and there you go.
Good luck!

I have tried to use this site several time. I can bring up the index of chapters.
When I click on a chapter, f.x. Fluid and hemodynamic, I get the following copied below, no text or sound.
I have downloaded, nothing!
What's am I doing wrong or what's wrong with the site?

They're mp3 files so you gotta open them in an application that "reads" mp3 files, like Windows Media Player, or Real Player, and so on. Maybe that's the problem.
Good luck!

BLOOZ:

I know you could do it. There are like 4 other peole who failed recently and I have written them all the same. I don't care if you buy it from me or not, but do what Nuprin says: buy the Goljan audio & 500+ pages and master them. You will pass this test. I know it can be done with perseverence. I heard Ross and other Caribbean schools don't hold track records on the USMLE like yours against folks if that helps. Here's what I wrote others:

You are not alone. I failed too, and posted my comeback attempt here under my daily diary this summer. Please do a search under "Namf: Daily Diary".

I hope you don't find it offensive--I am not interested in profiting on your pain--but I am selling my Goljan materials at cost on 2 CDs. Just write me at bookcash@yahoo.com--don't send it to my inbox here please.

Whatever happens, know this: you can do it.

You’re just pissed because you failed.
The rule is:6.
You can't take Step1 after the 6th time without additional clinical training.
Just because you keep failing is no reason to denigrate all FMG’s.

Remember:
Bad mind = Bad Grades
Small Mind equal Small Grades

Hi ...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 you advise.

Thanks
