Frieking out

Guys - I know I post a lot of my anxiety - but...

I seriously feel so incredibly bad about CK and I have to take CS in two days (which I have hardly prepared for).

I feel like such a failure right now. I second guessed myself all day yesterday while taking the exam. Simple things became complicated. I found that I was checking approximately 17-23 answers per block for all 8 blocks - how can I possibly pass with this uncertainty in my brain.

This is so weird - but I am in such a dark place right now - I can't stop crying, I can't focus on CS - I feel like such an incredible failure that I spent the last 3.5 weeks preparing and I honestly feel like I just threw my residency in the toilet.

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with my anxiety over the next few weeks. I feel like most people had an ok experience with CK - but as for me - I want to crawl in a hole and cry and never go back to medical school.

Did you feel similarly for Step 1? How did you do on that exam?

I felt neutral after Step 1 - like I felt as if I had just taken another NBME practice test - didn't feel great - didn't feel bad...i ended up doing ok 232


This just felt wrong....

NOt when you miss questions like, "what puts someone at a risk factor for lead poisoning?" and "painting old houses" is an option - and guess what... you didn't pick it... it was one of those days. ... all day

I'm hoping that was a joke example 😛

I'm sure you'll be fine. 230 is above the national average by a good 10 pts in Step 1.

Unless you were lobotomized after Step 1, you'll be fine.
