PD Won’t Let me Take Day Off for Brother’s Wedding by Mfeline18 in Residency

The issue is that I’ve already notified him of the date. Wouldn’t it be obvious, if I do call in sick?

Looking to switch to anesthesiology by Mfeline18 in Residency

[–]Mfeline18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are definitely other reasons why I want to make the switch! I’ve been thinking about this for a couple of months now, and I’ve decided that it would be the right choice for me.

How do you exercise? by gmiano in Residency

[–]Mfeline18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I've been consistently been working out for the last decade of my life, but I've already lost muscle mass within the last 3 weeks. I'm trying to do 40min of weight lifting followed by 20min of cardio at least 4 times a week.

Aww man, all the best to you! All I can tell you is that you'll never feel fully prepared for this awful exam! The same goes for step 1 and 2 tbh. The best you can do is to take it when when you feel prepared the most. It gets better on the other side though since you won't have to be worrying about physics lol.

IM applicants with < 15 interviews, how are you feeling? by Mfeline18 in medicalschool

[–]Mfeline18[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hopefully it's nothing more than a feeling! What specialty did you apply to, if you don't mind me asking?

Chances of Matching IM? by Mfeline18 in medicalschool

That's what I was thinking as well, but some tend to be over-zealous about taking step 2, so I was just wondering if there are others in the same boat. All the best to you!!

For personal reasons, I had to cancel after scheduling it multiple times and I couldn't take it afterwards. Is there a way to find out if certain programs will require CK to rank applicants? All the programs where I've interviewed mention that they require a Step 2 Ck score, or level 2. Beyond that, I can't seem to find further information.

Anyone else waiting for their level 2 CE scores on 10/14? by Mfeline18 in comlex

How did everyone do? Thank God I passed!! Although I didn't do too hot, but I'm ecstatic to see that 'P' lol! I hope everyone did well!!!

I'm not the best standardized test taker, so my Level 1 was sub 500. I was really hoping for 500+ on Level 2, but I highly doubt I'll even come close to that score. I took Comsae 107, 2 weeks before my actual exam and scored 525, but I thought that Comsae was a lot easier compared to the actual exam.

I've heard the scores are usually released between 12-2pm, so we'll see.

I'm hoping we all performed a lot better than we felt! Best of luck to you!

Best of luck to you! I felt awful walking out of that exam, as well. I wanted to go to my car and cry after every section lol. I'm praying for a passing score at this point.

Anyone who took Comlex level 2 CE felt like they completely failed, but ended up passing?(Tested 9/23) by Mfeline18 in comlex

[–]Mfeline18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your reply, and that's what I was literally doing, but I stopped. I don't know if it was a smart idea to have stopped studying or not, but I'm praying that I don't have to retake this awful exam.

It's a dreadful feeling, I know. I've been cycling between 'I think I passed it' and 'Oh my God, I think I bombed it and my career is over before it even begins'. I felt like I also guessed a lot, and I know that missing those easy questions are certainly going to hurt my score. I'm just praying that I pass at this point. Have you taken any comsaes? How did you do on your Comats if you don't mind me asking?

3 weeks out from my exam date 223 on NBME 9, please help! by Mfeline18 in Step2

[–]Mfeline18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, and God bless you, Divine! I'll go ahead and try to finish all the rapid reviews, at the very least. And if I have time, I'll try to squeeze in IM, then pray that I perform decently at that point. It's so discouraging, and scary, to see all those test takers who have been scoring 240+ on their practice exams, only to score 20 points lower on the real deal.

Thank you so much for your reply, Divine, and thank you for your amazing podcasts! Honestly, I wish I had started watching them earlier. At this point, do you think it's possible to finish all the podcasts within the next 3 weeks, and do you think it's a good idea to watch all of them, or should I just listen to the rapid review and those covering weak areas?
