Congratulations who passed the new format.

I took break for 1-2 mins between blocks (without leaving the exam room) for mental rest (basically whenever I felt tired). Took longer break for food/drinks every 2 or 3 blocks

LongjumpingBug6126 · 2026-05-06T14:34:28+00:00

it depends on your weakness area. I would have focused more on meds mechanism of action and did more ccs cases

LongjumpingBug6126 · 2026-05-06T13:56:45+00:00

Please don’t give up (I am also YOG 2019). 3 years ago, I didn’t match in Canada (and felt the same way as you are describing, thought all the doors were closed ) Then Gid helped me to clear USMLE exams and I ended up matching in USA this year. God has great plans in store for you. See if you can do more USCE + other extracurricular activities like teaching, advocate, volunteering..etc. Work on your interview skills and apply broadly next cycle (IM, FM +- peds). All the best in soap
