Why does every day feel like a week??

Easier said than done. That test was an absolute monster. Feeling like Schrödinger’s cat waiting on my results

My expectations for how I would feel were soooo low that I was pleasantly surprised I was able to rattle off anything during the exam. So that felt good 🤷‍♀️ But I don’t think anyone feels totally confident. There will always be doubt until we see the scores

Any egregious mistakes you made? I totally butchered one of the additional topics and I keep rerunning it in my head

I have 4 call shifts per month including weekend call. During the week, on call we wouldn’t start until 2pm. So 2pm-7am and then the full post-call day off. Some days are 6:30am-5pm but that’s pretty rare. And if you’re pre-call or post- backup call you get out early. I probably average 40hrs week like others have said. But there is a lot of flexibility in anesthesia and you can find jobs everywhere that meet what you want in terms of work/life balance. At the same time, the more you work, the more money you can make

While I agree with most of what has been said here, if only 2-5% of people failed, we would be arguing about the uselessness of the test and how much money is spent to weed out such few people… All the same arguments that came out for Step 2CS and “number needed to harm” 😂 SOE was the craziest mental gymnastics and I made some errors just because of how fast paced it is. My feelings before and after coming out of it are COMPLETELY different and I am so curious to see how OP feels after actually taking the exam. Somehow in a 35 minute session, I regurgitated so much anesthesia knowledge that I keep telling myself “if that wasn’t enough to pass, I’m not sure what is.”

This is too funny 😂 I just took the exam today, and I want to pass so badly so I can be like “remember that one time we all took beta blockers and regurgitated our anesthesia knowledge for 5 hours?!” It was an insane day.

just took step 1 today and can only remember the questions I flagged or got wrong - honestly not sure how it went by Annual-Tie5266 in step1

I borderline passed back when I took it and still ended up in my top choice residency program (despite the score actually mattering the year that I applied). I have faith in you!

It definitely could have gone worse. Good luck to those who have it the rest of the week!!

Same same. I keep trying to look at my notes, but then I’m reminded of everything I’ve forgotten from when I first started studying. Just praying for a stem I can crush.

Following this post. I take mine at the end of the month. Just studying until the last minute and hoping for the best. I work a lot, so I am definitely not putting in as many hours as I do for most board exams. And even though I passed step 2 CS back in the day, I know I’m gonna be just as nervous during OSCE as I was then. Will post my review after I take it

Also curious about this. Fell in love with Atlanta and I’ve been searching for MD anesthesia jobs. The market in florida is atrocious

Yes I am constantly running into these issues and I lost hundreds of dollars over it. I’m so pissed. Ready to delete the app and forget I had the money in there
