Hi everybody!! I got my score today in the mailbox. I got 234/95. I know the score is not superb but I think is enough for me. I knew I passed last week since I had checked OASIS and after all this agony I finally finished with this. I just wanted to thank all of you for the advice, guidance and support. I wish you the best for all. :wink:

Thanks guys. Ok my experience. I took step 2 six months ago 93/229. I studied for about 5 months after step 2, b/t 8 and 11 hs. per day I used for step 1 Kap notes and FA mainly. Extra material Micro ridiculous(tables are great) and UCV( not really essential). USMLE CD 46/43/44. Last 3 weeks only FA that weighted almost 10 pounds due all the notes I pasted on it. Though I know the score is good my concern is that USMLE tests are the only thing I have guys. I'm an IMG and I have no LORs, no US experience, no nothing!!! so I hope I have a chance.

Hey, You're right, your score isn't much to write home about. Maybe you should consider retaking it, hmm? NOT! Some people would kill to have within even a SD of that score. So you better enjoy it--or else! All of that, in a word, means: congratulations. Unsolicited advice for nuprin: Don't drink the wa-tar!
