Hi dear dr
I am a doctor from … I graduate in 2006. It takes 2 years on and off for me to complete my study and get ready for step 1. I read all the Kaplan lecture notes and listen to DVDs. I do around 3000 tests but not from a definite Q bank and not in a situation the same as the real exam. In these two years, I continue to practice as an ER physician in the hospital. I get married 8 years ago. The exam cost around 3000 $ for me. I take the exam in 15 January 2014. I was in pressure and left around 40 question unanswered!
UW exam score: 214
5 February 2014, score release: Fail (183/75)
I am in shock. What should I do? Should I say goodbye to my dream? Is there any other choice for a physician in the U.S? Is it reasonable to schedule for step 1 and 2 CK combined? In your opinion, which one is better: be a family physician in the US or an ophthalmologist in my motherland? I'm so confused and need your advice. Please don't deny helping me.
