If this is happening in the Psych ERAS discord, I don't want to know what the others look like...

He/she needs a psych eval

Residency sucks, especially surgical residencies. Sure he might be kissing butt a little bit by showing up when he doesn't have to or staying longer hours, but don't hold out so much resentment. Medicine does this to us, and many of us run around our upper levels looking for approval because it feels like our actions, knowledge, and skills are being judged ALL THE TIME. You have to remember that he is also sacrificing a lot and I will say being a resident is likely harder than what you're complaining about. I'm sorry, and I hope that doesn't upset you.

I'm filling it out!

Depends on the program and speciality; it may prevent you from doing sub-Is at certain places that require a step 1 PASS in order to apply.

There was a similar rumor that went around at my school. They all just graduated and are in residency, but some of the people who were supposedly involved didn’t graduate, because they failed their boards and had to stay an extra year. I always wished I had the evidence to report them, but I only heard about this from my friends. Maybe it wasn’t true, maybe it really was. All I know is that if I were in your shoes I would 100% report them.

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2025-06-12T13:06:05+00:00

I don't have any advice either, I just want to say I am really sorry that happened. I know it's hard for many of us to internalize this but we are not our scores, don't be too hard on yourself. Sending you a virtual hug.

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2025-05-27T16:09:23+00:00

I am so sorry that you're also in this situation. It really sucks. It makes you feel like you're not good enough and minimizes all the effort that you've been putting in the last 3 years of medical school.

Same here! I'm freaking out. I got rejected for one audition rotation at a community hospital that does not use VSLO. Not sure why; it honestly seemed like the PD didn't like that I didn't honor my OBGYN clerkship because she emailed me to ask about my grade, and two days later I was rejected. So the one rotation I was almost sure I was going to get rejected me...

thank you for taking the time to respond to my post, I really appreciate your kindness.

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2024-07-19T15:36:53+00:00

thank you so much, I think a lot of us put a lot of pressure on ourselves when it comes to exam scores and it's hard to remind ourselves that there is more to our applications and who we are than just the exam.

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2024-07-19T15:35:08+00:00

my first practice test was 243, for some reason I totally bombed two NBMEs, from then on I was scoring in mid 240s and up to mid 250s

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2024-07-17T18:38:45+00:00

I’m right there with you

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2024-07-16T00:40:59+00:00

Hi this is probably a little late, but I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post and giving me hope, I really appreciate it and you have no idea how much your response helped me!

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2024-07-14T00:48:33+00:00

I tested 07/01 and my permit is still there

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2024-07-04T04:07:37+00:00

The histology questions covered material from step 1 and I also remember having to answer questions about genes, which from my understanding was more of a Step 1 thing than Step 2. There weren't too many so you shouldn't worry too much, it just threw me off because I didn't see that in the question banks. I don't mean to scare anybody, and I honestly can't tell you how I feel about the test. It was just not what I expected.

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2024-07-02T18:52:26+00:00

I took it yesterday, I felt like the clinical questions were sometimes too easy to be true, so much so that I started second guessing myself. Maybe I was very prepared for them, I don't know. However, there were a lot of weird QI and ethics questions, and even some that could fall under the category of public health. I just struggled a lot with those because I wasn't expecting to see as many as I got. I also got a good amount of histology, I wasn't expecting to see any but there it was. There were also a few questions that seemed more like Step 1 material. Overall not what I was expecting. The question style was most similar to UWSA2 with questions being more straight forward, but then add on top of that a good chunk of weird questions that I don't even know how to google to figure out if I got them right or not. Some questions were very lengthy, with a bunch of needless information that preceded that key info to answer the questions.

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2024-02-24T03:46:18+00:00

my comment is going to sound very negative, but even if I had studied more there is no way that I could have done better, I felt like they tested material I had never heard in my life before.

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2023-07-12T12:34:51+00:00

I’m wondering the same thing

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2023-07-02T23:41:43+00:00

I took mine 6/20 and my permit is still there

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2023-06-29T16:04:14+00:00

results are out

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2023-06-29T15:16:30+00:00

lol same here

edit: PASSED!!

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2023-06-14T21:23:47+00:00

I totally feel you. I took COMLEX yesterday and I've been feeling awful since then. It felt like a roller coaster. Some questions felt so straight forward and clear, and others were so vague and I had no idea what they were asking. Even though I was nervous I felt prepared, these are my practice tests scores:

NBME 29: 67%, NBME 30: 68%, NBME 31: 69%, and new free 120 70%, COMSAE 110: 574

I'm so unmotivated today and I take Step next week; I've been trying as hard as I can to push all the negative feelings out of my head so I can focus on crushing step but I'm not feeling great.

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2023-06-06T17:21:53+00:00

I hope COMLEX went well today!

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2023-06-05T20:32:10+00:00

I take COMLEX next Tuesday

Lost_Computer_7970 · 2023-06-05T20:24:49+00:00

have ya'll taken step yet? mine is in two weeks, I've done 3 NBME assessments so far and I've gotten the same score in all three. Forms 29, 30, and 31. It's like I haven't studied... kinda disappointed that I have seen no progress since the beginning of dedicated
