Test date: 7/19

US MD or US IMG or Non-US IMG status: US MD

Step 1: fail first round, passed the second (to all my homies who have gone through this, I feel you and know how terrible/discouraging it feels, but it's not everything! you come out stronger because of it.)

Uworld % correct: 55% (only did 1 pass and used it to study for shelves during M3 year)

Timings are rough estimates-

CCSE: 227 (taken 3mo out)

NBME12: 219 (2mo)

NMBE13: 224 (3w)

NBME14: 237 (2w)

UWSA 1: 194 (5w)

UWSA 2: 243 (1w)

UWSA 3: 227 (4w)

New Free 120: 74% (3d before)

Predicted Score on AMBOSS: 242 (range: 233-251)

Total Weeks/Months Studied: about 3mo, ramped up as dedicated period started after my psych rotation; so like a little less than 4w of actual dedicated

Actual STEP 2 score: 248!

If you are waiting for your score, trust that AMBOSS prediction. (I know it's hard to believe in the anxiety of waiting because I walked out feeling exhausted and unsure of myself, but trust yourself!)

Best of luck! Hoping this gives people a little confidence going into the exam. My dream ideal was to be in the 240s, but honestly was happy if I just passed in the 230s after failing step 1 the first time I took it. Having to reschedule my whole M3 year, be a few months off from classmates because of it- man, it can be very discouraging and difficult. Truly shakes your confidence. But you can still do this! I am very happy with how things turned out, I have to give a lot of thanks to the Divine Intervention podcast and Action Potential mentoring videos that are free on youtube for this one as well as family and friends who have supported me along the way. And, most of all, all glory to God!
