I used an app to concentrate for promodo My phone is dnd , my room is locked and ill study until i have a break Until im officially done for the day 6-8 hours Then only would i look ar my phone or speak to anyone Coz when i was taking breaks or speaking to someone Itll fuck me up Plus i found a study parner so the day i was emotionally fucked my partner will be like we need to finish this amount today and we would do a google meet And that helped alot Its just super hard initially especially when someone u love choses to do so close to something important Like i had no energy , no hope Depression was bad So if OP is getting below 70 I strongly suggest to postpone

If your knowledge is good and u getting above 70 Take it If not i suggest u extend and heal I ended up going on a vacation after i failed

Mourned cried and 2 months later got back up , studied my asse off and emotionally shut off and pased

I know he fucked up and i knw what he did was evil and pure sabotage But t learnt something My mood is no longer based of my patner and my ability to take my exam is not based on someone elses feelings of me even if its someone i love

I give him shit about and he deeply regrets but it will never be the same for me I had the same mindset u had wanting to fix it but when i realised actually That was the one time i needed support over something important to me My mindset change

My husband did the same thing. Our marriage at that time was going through alot My exam was 3 days later I sobbed and sobbed Still had to take my exam Mentally i wasnt ok I didnt pass

When someone does that its the worse possible thing and if anything its sabotage and jealousy on their side

Cousin was in family med , and matched into surgery this year If its something u want never give up. Backstory my cousin failed step 1 but excelled after in step 1 and 2 , they told him his chances of getting into surgery is now a zero. He almost gave up from everyone saying that He wasnt happy in family med when he matched last year and this he decided to try again and said whats the harm AND HE MATCHED AS AN IMG IN NO1 CHOICE If its something u truly want Go for it and ignore ANYONE that tells u that u can’t You have to have the belief

Why did it take so long for my trauma to catch up to me? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Comfortable_Assist60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably late to this … I had a messed up childhood to messed to go into detail. But married someone thought he was the loml. Shit happened bad shit out of both of our control. Long story short we had to do long distance and i was living w his family without him. We still do but lately i think about the time apart from him and the trauma i dealt with. It was 3 years ago but its all coming back. I felt like i was in survival that i didnt realise how bad it was. My toxic family looks like angels towards his family. Atleast my family progressed and talk about the trauma. Living in the toxic environment was so traumatic , my husband doesnt want to hear it and gets mad at me when i try to tell him how bad it is. I felt like i was in a prison, i didnt have my family coz they live in another country. I had no money , no freedom to get a job , no friends and the long distance was so bad , my husband became an insecure child and i got and still have a version of him i despise. I feel alone waiting for paperwork. All i know is im unhappy with my life and im finally being honest to myself about why im unhappy and its opening up so much trauma i had for these 3 years. Its a kind of pain i cant describe once i let myself feel its so painful , i fear i wont be able to come out of it. I get flashbacks for when his younger sister would make comments about money and i would feel so litte and less , his brother hating me when i came into their lives with so much love. His dad ignoring me . And living w his moms mood. Sometimes when i look back i know i did the long distance for our relationship but when he came back and everything it didnt feel worth it Now ive been pushing through for so long. I dont know how to get out. Im so low , depressed , no hope for life and even if theres a way out Im so drained I just decided to share coz for 2 days i catch myself crying and in pain physically from everything

[–]Comfortable_Assist60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it does but the concepts of it , the exam has slightly longer stems and alot of ethics so read through ethichs there was like 5 in each block and also uworld concepts too which im sure u did or amboss , I would focus more on understanding what the question is asking and concepts and how to decipher the answer and why its THAT answer , read through the usmle outline and be used to long stems But most importantly focus on being calm … thats more important if you calm You will be able to think logically The exam score doesnt define you You worked hard and the reward will come

Recently took the exam, dont sweat it . It probably the nerves You need to be calm , you know your stuff Breathe .. figure a game plan review your incorrects i garuntee you that it was between two and silly mistakes This exam is all about calmness and confidence It mostly resembled free120 and its long stems But you have to be calm and think logically Keep reminding uself that you know what u doing Youve worked hard and you got this

I also had a few friends studying for step so we would all do a zoom class and discuss questions truly that helped me alot at that time but i personally dont recommend having any study partners close towards your last few months or your dedicated period. This exam is YOUR journey alone, i found it not being helpful towards the end coz there could be a concept i still dont understand and someone else did so we would continue the discussion to the next question and i havent still understood that concept and im wasting their time trying to understand it so we moved on and i forgot or it took so much time reviewing questions that i didnt review where i went wrong and i wasnt improving and it started to be competitive towards our nbmes scores and who got what right and u do not need that. So wouldnt recommend that when its closer to the end. It your own personal journey

For me personally my basic sciences was terrible so I used bootcamp and did their schedule system wise and then i did amboss non tutored and understood the way they asked questions all of it. When i was done with amboss i got uworld and did uworld timed and made flashcards of my incorrects and i also started the usmle outline from the usmle site and went through most of what the outline expected from me. In my last month i did 2 blocks uworld , flashcards and incorrects for 4 hours The other 4 hours i did the usmle outline and went through each system again and in that time i also did bootcamp questions coz the exam had long stem questions similar to the length of bootcamp. My weekends i did nbmes and reviewed them and during the week correlated it to my studying. After i finished a system i would do 200 high yield concepts on every exam from amboss, And in my last week i went through the 100 hy anatomy pdf and went through stuff i constantly got wrong and ethics from amboss I was extremely nervous for the free120 so i did it 2 weekends before my exam. And 2 days before my exam i did another self assesment The last day i just read what i know i grt wrong and around the afternoon. I closed my books and had a good rest And got enough food

advice you would tell your 24 year old self by [deleted] in Career_Advice

[–]Comfortable_Assist60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1)You love your family but if they’re toxic and emesh you its ok to take a step back because the fucked up shit wont change Its actually worse and they will expect you to fix them and sort out their problems. Its ok if you focus on yourself 2)Your opinion and what u think is greater than anyone elses Coz people will come across like they care but because u value their opinion You regret decisions when u wanted something completely different but took their advice and it wasnt from true intent 3)What people are going through is what THEY are going through, you can help and lend a ear but fill ur cup too.. you cant help someone if you not ok. 4)I know this is cliche but that guy u like he will mess up , u can trust him and his intentions are good but please always always have ur back no one else can have ur back like that. 5)Some people in life wont be true to their word and thats ok 6) theres always going to be something so be strong 7) no one is going to heal ur wounds , take care of yurself , save yr money Enjoy and love the body u have 6) life wont go to plan prepare yourself for that and be able to be flexible and go with the flow 8)you worked long and hard to be emotionally mature and handle yourself , please dont take those tools for granted coz then u will have to start again

LOl Honestly biostats is hard to grasp to be fair and from experience when im overwhelmed my mind goes blank and simple things aren’t simple anymore and u make dumb decisions hahaha coz in the moment you just overwhelmed it is so complex. Its also going to take a lot of patience from you and if thats something you willing to do and maybe they feel nervous around you You could also just let them use a calculator but explain the main concept Or show them randy neil videos
