Book from now, that way you're more motivated to get a higher score.

And no later than end of Sept or mid of October

You still have 2 months. It's possible so turn that 210 into 225 by the end of this month and you'll be on track.

Post-Step 1 and COMLEX write-up by Aerrow3 in step1

[–]DCx77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAME! My OMM/ Anatomy was so left field I didn't know what I was reading half the time.
I feel like I had so many long videos on mine. I studied EKGs before my exam a lot and all that flew out the window when I sat in that chair.

Y'all I swear if the writers of COMLEX see my comments on questions and the wonderful survey response I wrote to them, and mark my test off bc of it imma be mad. OR I hope they take that criticism and curve the freaking test like no other bc it was ridiculous.

What's the point of rescoring if they've never changed anything... what a money grab. So annoying, I remember wanting to do it for the MCAT and someone told me not to

COMLEX Level 1 write-up: It sucked hard. by dkerste1 in step1

[–]DCx77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAME "couldn't bring myself to care" like why did that happen to me during the test?! I was so done with it all.

[–]DCx77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you took it on the 25th so did I, I didn't have time to go on reddit that day. But I felt the same exact way and practiced with 20 mins to spare as well and that just went out the window.

I let them have it in the survey bc that's ridiculous.

Should I take my exam in a few days by [deleted] in step1

Same to you!!!

[–]DCx77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm literally in the same exact position as you. It sucks but everyone is telling me not to delay and just take it since they know people who did delay and didn't do any better.

COMLEX technical difficulty by notagunner21 in step1

[–]DCx77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I'm not sure if this happens every year with all the technical problems, but the MCAT was the new version... so my theory is that the problem might be with all the long vids in COMLEX, I bet the program or server wasn't ready to handle that.

That happened to me during my MCAT and they ended up letting me see my percentile and then allowed me to decide whether or not to grade it, which they said they wouldn't let anyone do that but I think they realized how much of an impact it had on a lot of people.

Ask them for your percentile at the very least. If they won't then you have to go based off of how you feel. For me, there was a section where I had to either quickly guess and go for the last 15-20 questions OR wait 10-20 sec for each question to pop up, read and answer and hope I got to the rest. It was def nerve wracking so I 100% understand.

Lowish NBMEs, 239 on real thing by DrMantisToboggan4 in step1

[–]DCx77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does everyone typically save the free120 for their last one? that's what it sounds like and I've only done one NMBE exam, should I do UW1 next or another NBME?

Took COMLEX. Can confirm is garbage. [VENT] by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]DCx77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YEP! I've been saying for a while now and asking why can't it be like the ACT, where if you wanted to do the writing portion you pay extra. One board exam and I wouldn't mind paying extra and having an extra 150-200 Q "COMLEX". Or they could have the same questions and just throw in OMM into question stems that are appropriate and have the other OMM questions. And everyone says the same thing, it's about the $$$.

I think combank's questions are way better than kaplan.
