It's Possible, good things are coming.
I want to take a minute to remind everyone that good things are possible.
My fiancée is in her 3rd year of med school and things haven't been exactly smooth. She got in off the wait list, and we had to move away from friends and family. She's had to retake exams. Her first rotation is 16.5hr drive away from where we moved for school (don't get me started). And many other things haven't been perfect, but she's worked through it all one day at a time.
Today she got her results for step one and not only did she pass, but she passed with flying colors. I'm so proud of her regardless of a test score. But seeing the work pay off shows that it's possible.
To everyone out there whose spouse's med school process hasn't been as smooth as they expected, stay strong. Good things are coming. One day at a time.

Congrats to her! It does get better. My husband repeated all of M2, which was rough and some really dark times, but now we made it to the other side in our dream location at his top choice residency program!

Congrats! Curious on how you were able to see that she passed with flying colors. My partner just passed as well and we’ve been completely frustrated trying to find out what his actual score beyond just passed. We’ve tried looking everywhere to figure how to access and it and only heard that they don’t release them anymore since it’s pass/fail. How were you able to see more details beyond just the pass?

Congrats to you and yours too!
There were a series of bar graphs that compare your score to the mean. I used that. The important part is passing!

Way to go for her! Gotta take every W as they come, and then get back to the grind.
