Failed COMLEX 1. Scored 355.
Resources used previously:
Kaplan videos (pharm, micro)
Pathoma
FA
FA express
Saverese
COMBANK (80% of the questions)


Scored in the 500s on the Comsae. Extremely disappointed and heartbroken. My running average on Combank was 62.0%. I didn't think I did stellar after the exam, but I was sure I didn't fail. Anyway, trying to take a couple days to figure out my situation, and then reschedule and retake it. Does anybody have any advice for me? My score report is completely random and the bands are pretty broad (ranging from low performance to borderline to high) for one discipline. Lowest was pathology and behavioral science. How can I improve? Should I take DIT or Kaplan or FAlcon live prep courses? Would they be helpful? Or try self study again with more focus on questions? My goal is atleast a 500 this time (is that a realistic goal)? Sorry for so many questions but really need peer advice through this difficult time.

FA + UWorld + Pathoma + COMBANK/COMQUEST. Your choice on DIT, could be helpful, could be a waste of time. I liked it.





These videos are very HY. Study them. Memorize them. Be able to reproduce them on exam day.

Good luck.

Hello I was just curious to know what are the chances of matching FM if you fail COMLEX I once and pass upon second attempt. How competitive are the programs in the midwest and even if you fail, can you still match in a rural location? Because I thought several programs go unfilled?
