Hi guys,

I left the exam feeling like a truck hit me in the face..multiple times! I remember having to stop one block and take an extra 3 minute break to pull myself together because i was literally on the verge of bursting out with tears in the middle of the test!

My uw cumulative first run was 70%, my NBME4,6 and UWAE ranged between 219-224.

The exam was tough and too long. On multiple blocks i ran out of times and couldn't solve "blindly picked" the last 5 questions of maybe 5 blocks? seriously a lot of things are a haze! Drug ads questions were skipped and only answered those blindly as well.

NOW, my dilemma is, i applied for psych...and totally feel like i need to run away and hide behind a bush because many people -in professional settings- are excited/waiting for my score to come out and expect me to immediately tell them what it is. Which i don't want to do! If i fail the test, the last thing i want to do is announce it to potential residency fellow upperclassmen and professors!

Please brainstorm with me. What do i do tomorrow if i failed? Shut my phone? and pretend like i have an emergency and quietly withdraw from the match?

I don't even want to think of how my life will be over tomorrow! i honestly don't have a planB and can feel my chest tightening up right now already in anticipation of the score report tomorrow!

Any input is appreciated! Thanks

That sounds ditto like my story everything from running out of time to getting overwhelmed to dreading the result....
