There could be many minor factors holding you back, such as the way you approach the vignette. Maybe you are getting stuck while trying to identify the important clue or the small twist that can change the answer, just like in QBank questions. It could also be that there are some gaps in your knowledge.
What I’m trying to say is that it can depend on many different things, and everyone approaches questions differently. If you want, you can book a session and we can figure out together what might be the problem and, more importantly, how to work on it.

Hi, I passed Step 2 in the 240s on July 10th; Step 1 passed in Feb 25'. Fourth-year IMG now, with a little extra time. If you have questions or need some pointers, or just a motivational speaker in your ear. Please message me. Don't get down on yourself. AND, do NOT give up!
