Hey Guys,
I got my result last Wednesday and it took me a while to finally get the courage to write on here. I failed my exam with a score of 173. I do regret writing my exam since I knew I needed more time.
My NBME scores were awful -
3- 190
5- 240
7- 230
11- 290
12- 300
These are the NBME scores ... so in correlation to the Step 1 I was scoring between 155 to 180. Passing was 188. I kind of rushed my exam since I was getting burnt out but I knew what to expect as my result! It was a good experience overall and I learned from my failure.
As for now, I am not too sure what I'm looking at going ahead with this score since my chances of getting residency are bleak. I think its time for a career change but I am considering different options.
I will look into re-writing the exam after discussing with my school authorities and may be a career counselor on what to do next. If you guys have any suggestions please let me know
I would like to thank everyone from this forum for making this a delightful journey!
