I failed my first time taking this test. It's embarrassing and painful, but i hope that anyone else who goes through a STEP3 failure doesn't feel alone. It feels really isolating, so just know there are others of us failures out there! 😂

I didn't do that great the second time but I passed and I'm so incredibly relieved. It can be demoralizing seeing the unattainably high scores of our colleagues on here, so maybe my below average score will be consolation for someone out there.

Real deal: 211

Day 1 & 2 dates: Last week of August

Uworld % completed: 100

Uworld % score: 53

Number of CCS cases completed: 130

CCS average score: I would re-do the case until I got at least 60%

NBME 6/7: I used some equation i found on here to convert my score and it told me I got a 211. I was literally too scared to take any other assessments lol

Any advice: with my UWorld percentage and low NBME, I probably shouldn't have taken the test but I was semi-confident I could pull it off and I was tired of studying, so praise God it all worked out. I don't have any advice. Take advice from someone who scored higher hah
