We took it at the end of march and honestly it was not too horrible. Just very long, my brain was giving out alot because just days ago I had taken the IM shelf. Most of the exam was IM as I recall so that kind of saved me. I had trouble with the ob, peds, and psych sections because I had forgotten most of that stuff. I really didnt study because I was just in a s** done with all 3rd year cores mood lol.. Our school sent us a email saying a score of 66 is eq to pass on usmle step 2. I passed but not really sure what the grade breakdown is, if u want you could sit there n do uworld qs. I havent done any so far, need to find the motivation to study for step 2 now...

Is this the same as the "Intro to Phys Dx" one?
