Did I just waste $50?

My school made us take an NBME practice exam earlier this year. Today, after 1 week of "dedicated" studying, I decided to take another. Thing is, I spent so much time deciding which form to take, that I completely forgot to look at which one I took back in the winter....so I ended up accidentally buying the same one. (I'M IN IDIOT.)

I took the whole thing anyways since I already paid for it, but was it completely useless to me? To make matters worse....I thought I was going to do pretty well on it since I've already seen the questions, but I got a 203, which is only 10pts higher than what I got back in the winter 🙁

you can still see what you were weak and strong in and learn from there... think of it as wasting half of $50 LOL you get some benefit

at least you got something for the 50quid as mentioned above.
does it make you feel better when I tell you I got an 80£ parking ticket for parking for 5 minutes to pick up my pizza?
at 87£ this is going down as the most expensive pizza I ever had.

well, basically these *****s are allowed to clamp your car on private land, I got back the minute the 2 gorillas had finished clamping, you have to pay them 80quid fine to take the clamp off 🙁, fortunately I had just withdrawn some cash.

Ahhh sounds like tow truck drivers here...at least they didn't take your car away, thats more common practice and it costs more to get it back generally. I watched a guy take a car out of a parking place, drag it out, go around to get at the front tires and drive away in about 35 seconds, it was a work of beauty.
