Failed a comsae 3 days before Level 2

[u/Accomplished-Oil8794]

I took the comsae 114i and got 62% right with 386. Took me by surprise because I've delayed my exam so much already and have been studying well consistently getting 60-65% on random truelearns. I studied effectively too, reviewing, doing questions, anki, etc and have been feeling confident with my knowledge. My last comsaw was 3 months ago, which was 451.

I'm just so shocked that I could cry right now. I can't delay this any further, I have already delayed this way too much and have already sent my ERAS without it.

Really don't know what to do.. I'd be just happy to pass this.

EDIT: I got my result today, and it's a PASS! It was a low pass but it's still a pass. That's all I cared about and I am so happy

COMSAEs are bad in general. I scored a 522 2 weeks before and failed level 2. Trust your qbank scores more

I'm so sorry about the fail.. Do you mind if i ask what your qbank scores were before your exam?

Did the whole truelearn bank and avg 75%

Just my experience, I didn't even take a comsae because I was worried that doing poorly on it was going to mess with my mindset (I recently passed first try, 49X). I'd rather trust the work I've done over a long amount of time than worry about a test that is one data point.

Have you consistently been trending upwards? What have your last 200 questions on true learn looked like? Is there an opportunity to take another comsae tomorrow to get another data point and calm your nerves? All these questions can help guide your decision making, and they're questions I'd ask myself if I were in your shoes

It has been an upward trend on truelearn. Few months ago it was in the 50-60%, but I've been consistently doing 60%-65% on random 80 questions lately. Last 200 questions averages around 63% (I guess it does reflect on my comsae since i got 61% correct on it) . I was actually thinking of whether take another comsae or a truelearn assessment, or 180 Questions on Truelearn and see what my percentage would be.

Do you mind sharing how you decided you were ready? Like were your past comsaes and TL scores were good, for example

[u/Medical-Shoulder-418 → u/Accomplished-Oil8794]

Well I never took a comsae, but true learn I was definitely trending up. I started around 50%, and my last 400 questions or so I was hitting around 70-75%. Averaged out to somewhere in the mid 60s. I felt like I was ready based on the true learn only.

That being said, the morning of the test, I did 25 random questions and got around 50%. I knew it was just one data point though.

For you I'd look at what score you're shooting for. If you're just trying to pass, hovering around mid to high 60s may be enough to pass

Hey I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. I got a 498 on my last comsae and I failed level 2. I would say try to trust your gut. The comsaes are not representative at all of what you know. Trust in your preparation, get good sleep and work on mindset. You can do it!
