just took ck and waiting for scores! anyone else waiting????

A bit about my experience. HORRIFYING. I can barely recall anything from the exam so I have no clue how i did. Feels like i failed but trying to suppress. was rushing through every block and even got timed out and did the worst thing that could happen------had to leave some unanswered!
Just a blurr and have no idea, maybe the suppressing wiped out my experience all together. Anyone else feel this way and still pass???

I felt pretty similar. Didn't ever leave any blank but just guessed without really even reading the last 5-10 questions on a few sections. I did fine. Bet you did better than you think.

Honestly this might be off by 1-2 points but I'm pretty sure I had a 236 on step 1 and a 233 on step 2 CK. I basically only used uworld questions to study. A lot of the questions on the test didn't even make sense to me when I read them haha. Hope you get the score you're wanting. I was happy with mine. I'm not going into anything too competitive though. I would've been more concerned if my dream was to match into derm. These tests are stressful but don't let them get you down. Especially until you get your score. Most people feel bad about how they did, it's in our nature to focus on our shortcomings. I even did the best in the Ob/Gyn specialty which I thought I was awful at on Uworld...so you never know.

I felt the same way too. Time management was a real issue on step 2. And I was unable to recall any of my questions too and I scored 242

How did you feel when you came out of the exam? Did you feel you did ok?

I feel people do better on step 2 than anticipated

My experience was also TERRIBLE. MTB and UW did not seem to cover more than 25% of the exam. Vague signs and symptoms with equally vague management options. Twas a very painful exam.
IMG. UWSA: 250+. Prediction: TERRIFIED TO DEATH.

@oasisgirl thanks for that! I hope my exam turns out at least half as great as yours, and if that happens I'll be jumping for joy , haha..just want to pass this thing!
I felt really unsure and really bad after the exam. Since I left some blank it has really got me scared so I didnt feel good at all after leaving the center. trying to stay positive especially after reading your post !!
Will update on here in a few days, pray for me guys!
