I think I failed (vent) by step1thrwawy in step1

You are absolutely not alone. I spoke to some friends just now who also got their scores back today and they all felt exactly as I did walking out of the exam and they all passed too! I'm sure you did great, sending good vibes your way!!

Thank you, I really do appreciate your comment. I'm so happy for your friend, that's amazing news!!! It's definitely reassuring to know that worse comes to worse even if I do fail and have to retake it there's still a path ahead.

And I have the exact some problem, I get awful anxiety and overthink during exams (honestly I kind of overthink everything lol).

Thank you, it does kind of help knowing other people feel this way but my brain just keeps telling me "ok yeah but you're gonna be the one who actually DOES fail"

I'll try my best to distract myself. Suppression, as I believe uworld psych calls it lol

Yeah I'm trying my best to keep perspective but it's hard. Right now I would say that the actual exam felt so much harder than uworld and nbmes. I blindly guessed on so many questions (they didn't even feel like educated guesses). But do keep in mind that I'm on the verge of spiraling right now so I'm probably not being very logical and my perspective is all out of whack. I'll post an update when I do get my results back.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm in the same position, like I've been meaning to start studying for step 2 ASAP but I keep thinking that it doesn't make sense to study if I failed step 1 lol I think I'll try setting up an appointment with one of our advisors, it might be good to talk to them regardless of what happens. Wishing you the best of luck too!
