Just got my Level 1 score back today, very disappointed in myself. I've always been a good test-taker and got good grades in med school, but I walked out of that exam feeling like it simply did not test me over the things that I studied.
I'm doing well on third-year rotations so far, my favorite two specialties are ER and IM. I just love being in a hospital. Am I doomed to primary care? Should I try to take Step 1 (I've already started studying) in the winter or spring? Any advice on how to proceed generally?
For added context, I have already secured a couple of LoRs from docs in the specialties I like, I have 4 publications in the realm of biomedical research, and an MS in biomedical science.
