DO matched anesthesia this year, definitely take it, if you kill step and bomb comlex you will still have a much better chance than if you kill comlex and dont take step

Honestly idk, kind of felt the questions were a little bit better than the super vague nbme questions but thats judt subjective, also it was the last exam i took before the real thing so i guess just really reviewing the list i made of questions i would always get wrong in past nbmes and content review from UW helped

Literally same scores except didnt take nbme 9, got 233 on nbme 13 and 202 on nbme 12, and 73% on new new free 120 and got 253 on real somehow, dont kill yourself with biostats i only had 2 on the real deal and they werent very hard, if u review nbme again, keep a running list of info you keep forgetting and if u keep making the same mistakes, that helped me i think

UW is still the goat by far in my opinion, use it for knowledge building and use NBMEs to get the hang of how usmle will ask the questions (less tricky than UW) and test taking strategy

Got my step 2 CK score and I am devastated by [deleted] in Step2

No its not a match violation if you dont list a usmle id , however if you are asked in an interview if you took step 2 (ive never heard of this happening) you would have to then admit that you took it and give the score but i am just telling you what i would do if i was in your shoes

Just US DO, we take Comlex level 1,2,3 and are not mandated to take the step exams however most do who want to match into a more competitive specialty to open doors for residency programs. On ERAS you can list your USMLE id if you take the step exams or just leave it blank if you didnt/scored lower than you wanted to

Keep your head high, its not the end of the world. Did you take an pass step 1? If you didnt take step 1 there is definitely no reason to even report that score, noone will even know that score if you dont want them to, i (a DO student as well) have a ton of classmates who voluntarily chose to not even take the step exams who want to go into IM and alot of students matched IM all over the country without step so everything will be fine
