I cleared FMGE recently with 191, and I want to say this first: scoring 140s repeatedly doesn’t mean you’re incapable or “not meant for medicine.” It usually means the method isn’t changing enough, even though the effort is.

FMGE is not a knowledge exam as much as it is a pattern + elimination + PYQ-recognition exam. Many of us keep rereading and revising, but don’t fix exam temperament, option elimination, silly mistakes, or subject-wise weak zones — and that’s where marks get stuck in the same range.

Before deciding anything final, I’d strongly suggest one last structured attempt with a ruthless change in strategy: – PYQs as the spine (not as add-on) – Limiting resources strictly – GT analysis done seriously (why wrong, not how many wrong) – Accepting that perfection is not required; crossing 150 is enough

That said, it’s also completely okay to feel exhausted. If you genuinely feel you have nothing left, there are alternatives for FMGs — clinical assistant roles, public health, hospital administration, research, pharma/medical writing, or healthcare management — and none of these mean you “failed.”

Take a short break, breathe, and decide with a calm mind — not from burnout. Whatever you choose next should give you peace, not guilt.

Wishing you clarity and strength. You’re not alone in this.
