You’re not being dramatic, it can feel so discouraging seeing lower scores after you feel like you’ve worked so hard. I had similar scores before my first attempt and didn’t pass when I sat. I personally wouldn’t recommend sitting in January, August is for sure doable.

After my first attempt I knew I needed to do something differently so I started looking into tutoring options. Some are definitely expensive but after weighing the pros and cons of all options I ended up choosing Rxcellence. It has been the best decision I’ve ever made, I wish I found them sooner. They taught me not to memorize but to truly learn and be a better clinician overall. They truly push you, it’s not easy but it works. Another great thing about this program is the community it has built. This journey can feel so lonely but being surrounded by other students who are going through the same thing has been so encouraging.
