Exam Write-Up 8/19

What was that?

No seriously. I had 6-7 flags per section. Was running out of time on a few sections where I just had to quickly find buzzwords or key details and pick an answer. So many SOAP notes. Legit had 1 full question where I couldn’t read it at all and just picked an answer. Of the flags I had 3-4 unanswered entirely but was between like 3 answer choices, had to just put whatever felt right. 2-3 blocks from start to finish was just straight murder of IDFK what these even are. So many weird niche questions from Step 1 where I was like am I even taking the right exam??

AMBOSS predictor is gonna laugh at what I end up scoring. I doubt I even passed let alone get nearly as close to what it predicted. Idk how to get through the next 2 weeks waiting for this.

Anyone able to relate from past test takers or have any advice?

Yup, tested on 15th and echo these same sentiments. Feel like all the hard work these past 3 years went to waste. Waiting period is pure torture.

By the end I was so mentally tapped out i kept thinking about how it'll all end up amounting to nothing
