Hi everyone,

I am an IMG who is currently preparing for interviews. I have a h/o Step 1 failure (d/t poor preparation on my part) as well as a gap (as a result of getting completely bogged down by my step 1 failure) of 2-3 years on my CV. I passed my Step 1 on the second attempt with a score > 220, and passed my other steps (including step 3) with scores of 220+. Clearly this will be brought up in the interview, does anyone have any tips as to how this can be addressed?

Thanks and good luck to all of you!
