Imho x1 FA is not enough to remember details in it. And it's usually details that matter on questions. What was your UW average timed/random? Have you passed comlex?

Not sure if I passed comlex or not, my score should come out next week, another reason I want to delay. If I didn't pass comlex, I don't want to jeopardize my usmle score. 50% UW random, timed first pass.

Have you considered just not taking usmle? You should def not take it in a week.

Wouldn't that put me at a disadvantage for the merger? I want to do ACGME residency too. I am not losing hope..I think I can boost my score if I had another month..

No step score would hurt if you could’ve had one and done decent, but taking it just to take it isn’t a smart play. Bump it a month or two if you have the time to keep studying, but a failing step score or a borderline score won’t help your app at all

My school also requires us to take the USMLE.

Ohhh well in that case bump it as far back as possible and just say adios to a social life until it’s over

Have you thought about getting a tutor? Your school should have an academic support office and I’d reach out to them... having at risk of failing practice scores should raise their interest in helping you out... hopefully

You are at risk of failing. DO NOT TAKE THE TEST.
