bad feeling about the exam

I tried to shrug it off earlier today but after a few hours I couldn't help but think about the whole day. Anyone else feel like walking out in front of a bus after the test? I feel like the whole day was a blur.... I dont remember any of the questions... I just remember feeling rushed the whole time and always falling behind in time. I felt like my exam was FULL of long vignettes with hundreds of symptoms... by the time I finished the last sentence I'd forgotten the whole question. I remember one block where I had 26 questions with 19 minutes left. I also ran out of time in block 7 and had to guess onthe last 4 questions. I never had trouble with time on any of the NBME tests or USWAs and I always felt optimistic after finishing the practice tests.

I know everyone feels bad after the exam but I really feel liked I bombed this thing!

Yeah, I feel horrible about the exam. I am really hoping it is just post-test blues, but I am really not sure. I keep thinking about questions I made stupid mistakes on and other questions I had absolutely no idea about. I would get done 10 minutes early, but had 15 questions marked consistently for each section to review over. I really hope I made the right guesses... who knows. Blah.

after I finished the exam, I got a paper saying that Ive just completed the step 1 blah blah and on the line below that it said that id get my score in 6 weeks.... whats up? I thought it takes 3?

They may still be quoting 6 weeks because of the FredV2 implementation.

I had the same experience and time issues. I ended up doing what my practice tests predicted. I just got the score the other day-246/99 and I felt awful on test day. Dont stress it and just enjoy your time until you get your result
cheers
