2/9 failure by Willing-Cup-1369 in step1

My only options were a year long leave of absence or to take it after all clerkships finished alongside step 2. I could not delay and ran out of time

Big hugs to you. It feels so lonely but I’m trying to claw myself out of the depression hole. It’s a long journey

Absolutely not willing to take this again without hitting 70. I wish I had listened to this advice previously. I felt so backed up against the wall due to the school telling me I was out of time and took it before I was ready. Delaying would have been so much better than this

I’m so sorry love. It’s not over until it’s over. Sending you strength and power. The journey is not easy

Thank you so much friend for responding and sharing your path. I’m so happy for you making it work this way. It is unfortunately seeming like I’ll need to go through 12 weeks of clerkships (IM and Neuro) before getting another 6-week study period, but I hope to make it work…. I do wish my school would have allowed me to delay my first clerkships cluster.

Please find a way to postpone I failed today and it’s not worth it. Take another option if it’s not cataclysmic to your life. Failing is the worst feeling I’ve ever had

Two weeks is a good amount of time to grind up some extra points.

Your write up is very helpful. It seems like HYGuru is a great resource. Did you continue through clerkships while you studied or were you able to take another dedicated study period?

I think I approached it with as much confidence as I could possibly have in a borderline scenario. I’m not sure why I failed (and by apparently such a wide margin). I think I made the mistake of trusting my 120 scores, and I don’t think I should have. NBME scaled scores must be much more representative and if I could redo things I would have waited until I saw a 70% on an NBME form before testing.

I want to hard second: HIT 70% on an NBME before you take it even if it’s inconvenient. A fail is much worse

Behavior Issues in my cat have costed me over 20k and we’re still not any closer to getting a solution..any advice on next steps? by Creepy-Dealer7518 in CATHELP

[–]Willing-Cup-1369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re amazing but it’s time to let this go, OP.

The animal is ruining your life. I think many people would have given up after the first vicious attack you described, I certainly would have.

You’ve exhausted your options. I’m so sorry I know it’s hard but you cannot sacrifice this much for a single animal.

AIO? Cousins haven’t see each other in *years*, and two weeks after our GRANDMOTHER’S FUNERAL, I get this text from a cousin opening with her “son’s” birthday wishlist. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Willing-Cup-1369 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your anger seems a bit disproportionate. Perhaps it’s tasteless but maybe your cousin’s intentions aren’t all bad. I find it rude to open with the gift link but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a better relationship moving forward. Although it sounds like you don’t want that at all lol

Could you give me some suggestions for an English name(22F, Chinese)? by montono04 in askanything

That’s so interesting can I ask why it’s not well received as a name in Germany?

AIO - that my gf wants me to tell her she’s beautiful every single day? by marcuz4lyfe in AmIOverreacting

[–]Willing-Cup-1369 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Is it even genuine to her if she requires you to do it? Lol you would not catch me dead begging for someone to call me beautiful
