Long story short, I had to take a year off due to extenuating circumstances between 2nd and 3rd year. I passed the Step 1 (218). I'm getting back into the game with the IM rotation and prior to the rotation did most of Pretest IM, scoring in the 50%'s. I've also been getting in the 50's for random IM blocks on UWorld, so Pretest and reading its explanations didn't do anything to help.
I'm also finding it really difficult to study for long periods of time without getting burned out/unable to focus, especially reading books, answer explanations etc. I'm already on academic probation at my school and don't want to flunk the shelf and get booted from med school. Anyone have any advice on how to improve?
