I think I just got killed by the Prometric Practice Test-- 72%. 72%!!!! I an freaking out!!! I know I'm neurotic, I know that. But I am totally freaking out. I'm trying to be rational, I really am. But I am flipping out here. The questions were so much easier than UWorld and as I was taking it, I was like, "I know that," which means I was probably making dumb mistakes. I have no attention span.

I haven't done all the organ systems yet, and all the high yield stuff like neuro, biochem and a lot of micro I've already forgotten. Dammit!!! But I thought I recognized most of the stuff on there. Now I'm petrified of failing the exam, much less doing well on it. I wanted a 230 on it, but now I'd be happy with anything in the 220's. I'm freaking out and I'm thinking about contacting my dean to see if I'm in danger of failing.

I wasn't going to take another NBME because my study schedule is so tight and I'm only 56% of the way through UWorld with 10 or 11 days to go (I'm not sure what day it is-- I don't even know if I could pass a mini mental status exam right now much less step I). Now I'm not so sure. What do you guys think? Sorry I'm so neurotic. I think I need an SSRI.
 
Take it easy... According to Medfriends, a 72% is a 220. You're most likely in no danger of failing. Learn from your mistakes and keep on studying. You still have 10 days, which is a good amount of time.
 
Sigh... not everyone can score above average. Maybe you should stop reading SDN as it might put too much pressure on you.
 
and oh, yah..take this.
