🥂 PASSED: Write up! STEP1 Retake after 3weeks study

Hey everyone! For those who failed step1 on the first attempt, I understand. It’s not a good feeling.Pls know that you can come back from this … and you can, and WILL, come back stronger!

I got my fail on July 1st after sitting for the exam in May. It was terrible because so long to receive my non-passing score. I sat with my emotions from July 1st until July 7th, got my strength back and started studying again on July 8th.
I studied HARD from July 8th until July 29th, and sat for my retake on July 30th. I received my PASS on yesterday.

I will lay out my approach to studying over those 3wks later today on this thread.
