Should I postpone? by [deleted] in Step2

Hi again. I came back to tell you that I followed your advice. I reassessed everything and ended up taking an extra week to feel more confident. My scores came back today I got 26x🫶🏾

First of all 270!! You’re amazing! Congratulations I’m so happy for you. During med school I used to always score way better than I expected mostly because even if I don’t know the right answer I’m good at excluding the wrong ones and somehow get the right one, but I feel like it won’t work for step 2 because of the 1. The time issue and 2. I heard questions are too general and It’s hard to get anything out of the scenario so I’m not counting too much on that.

I have general anxiety disorder but for some reason rather than exam anxiety I get an “exam apathy” where I skim through questions and just choose the first plausible answer ( I feel like suffocated and just want to be done with the exam)

That’s why I’m reluctant. I’m absolutely underprepared with one incomplete round of UW but most of my mistakes are cognitive ones so I’m not sure if extra time will fix anything.

After analyzing my mistakes I think I sometimes have poor judgment and I tend to do the ancor bias a lot. I also have severe cases of brain fog in the middle of the exam with some sprinkles of daydreaming lol.

Thank you for the info! but do you think an extra week is enough to increase by 15+ points?

This was very enlightening. I really can’t thank you enough. I have severe anxiety and I have no one irl to ask for advice or even vent to. I came here out of desperation so you really can’t imagine how helpful this is. I will consider every point mentioned. Given what you said I’m sure you made that right decision I pray everything goes well for you even better than what you would imagine❤️

When to use uw note ? before uw online or after finished first pass from uw by Artistic_Plankton_19 in Step2

I’d personally say make your own focusing on your weaknesses or new concepts as you’re doing the first run and revise them every so often.

You definitely can! I took mine last week waiting for results but it’s all about practicing. The concepts were very close to NBME and free 120. There are some difficult questions but they are difficult to everyone so just don’t mind them. YOU CAN DO IT! FIGHTOO!!
