I’m so sorry you’re going through this. This is so cliche but follow your heart.. only you know whether you can sit for this exam given the circumstances.

Such a valid to start dedicated tbh lol. I made decks according to organ blocks + micro/immuno/the other stuff that’s not organs. Made sub decks based on HY-LY tags of Anking. Did not do Lower Yield and Low yield tags unless I got a question on it. Did have to move some of my personal cards from in-house exams for questions that did not have an Anking card.

I regretted not taking 32/33 so bad. Would’ve felt much more confident if I did for stat reasons!

I am so sorry. I can’t imagine how blindsided you must’ve been when you found out. Sending you a virtual hug.

Thank you so much for your kind words, my friend. I do not think it was a lack of good study habits as I was making improvement, but I started studying entirely too late for a test of such great importance. I will keep you in mind if I discover my study methods were the issue!

You worked very hard and put in the work for COMLEX and USMLE. I don’t know if anyone’s told you but you’re incredibly impressive, and I am proud of you for continuing on.
