By the final block, I didn’t even have time to review all of my marked questions. During the first block, I had razor-sharp focus and submitted with 5-10 minutes left.This Step 1 nonsense makes us all a little crazy, but sometimes you need to step back and remember that many, many people are proud of you and you have come so far since those pre-med days. Before leaving, my mother reminded that this day would have been my grandmother’s birthday. Had a big peanut butter banana smoothie for breakfast. On exam day, I woke up around 6 am and did some quick review (I couldn’t help myself). Didn’t do so hot on that one, which hurt my confidence going into the exam. Like most, I didn’t sleep well the night before the exam, but that’s to be expected. Took my final practice test shaking, feverish, with a blanket wrapped around me. I ended up getting pretty sick the weekend before the test, which wasn’t ideal. There are going to be a few questions that are not found in First Aid or UWorld or any prep resource. During the test, it’s easy to get flustered, but you have to remember that everyone is in the same boat. That said, after some blocks on the real deal, I felt like a failure. I never really felt pressure or anxiety during dedicated. For context, most of my practice test scores throughout dedicated were 250+.

When I get my scores back, I’ll give a full breakdown of my preparation. I don’t think that any two people have the same exact test. The immediate post-test hysteria has worn off and I haven’t yet forgotten the test, so I figured it’s a good time to share my thoughts on the actual exam.īut here’s one thing to keep in mind when reading reports of Step 1: Take every single on of these “just took step 1, here are my thoughts” posts with a grain of salt. I meant to write this the day after, but I have developed a strong aversion to the Internet since walking out of the testing center.
