My feelings after the exam; Is it normal?

I don't know if its normal but there are 2 things that bother me now that am done with step 1 and waiting for the score

1) I left the Prometric center feeling really really bad, feeling like I failed the test. It's actually very depressing. :toosad:

2) I couldn't, and i still can't remember more than 30 q's I had on the test. The only thing i remember is that all blocks had a lot of genetic and pharmacology questions. :mad: :confused:

Is that normal? did anyone feel the same?

U're not stupid to expect a good result. If u felt satisfied right after the exam, it's because u did well in all likelihood. At least that is what my experience, and that of some of my friends says. I didn't feel that great after the exam, but i was still kinda satisfied with my performance. Can't help the nightmares and jitters one gets in anticipation of the result, but try to stay calm and pray. Inshallah u'll get a great score.:)
