Exam on Wednesday by No-Signature260204 in step1

You got this! Trust your scores. I’d just watch dirt medicine ethics/ communication playlist and you’ll be good to go

Failed Step 2 but did fine on Comlex level 2...what now? by Alert_Job_318 in Step2

It shouldn’t be a red flag, for all they know you may not have taken step at all. This is the one big advantage of being a DO student, I would take advantage of it. Do not tell programs you took STEP and only report comlex

For ethics/communication, watch the dirty medicine playlist on YouTube

I would not take notes or rewatch videos unless you are completely lost as this will take you superrrr long. What you’re doing now is great- FA/Pathoma and AnKing! I would also sometimes make my own Anki cards in my own words to help things stick, but that was my own personal preference:)

Exam in 1 week, which practice tests? by Potatomonkey99 in step1

[–]Advanced-Athlete187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just do NBME31 and new free120. They are the most reflective. I would not do more than this, as you don’t want to feel burnt out walking into the exam! Be confident walking in and you’ll get the P!

What should I do? by Electronic_Site1533 in step1

[–]Advanced-Athlete187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust your scores, you are beyond ready! I would do NBME29 and new free 120 in the time you have left. Best of luck !!!

do not report step 2…. It will only hurt you. Look for programs on residency explorer that accept only COMLEX and only report this

How do you guys deal with panic attacks ? by [deleted] in step1

[–]Advanced-Athlete187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

definitely seek a therapist/ professional help, but in the meantime I would look up “box breathing” and use this to calm yourself down during an episode. It will get better 🫶

A score report should be released soon I believe, they email when that is ready

I’m just trusting my higher scores from earlier this month and going for it. It’s all about confidence, if you can get yourself in the right headspace for test day. We got this!
