Hey everyone, I’m hoping for some advice or solidarity here because I’m at a loss. I just got my COMLEX Level 2 score back, and something feels really off.
The issue is this: Psychiatry has always been one of my strongest subjects. In all my prior attempts and COMSAEs, it consistently scored at or above the mean. But this time? It’s suddenly my lowest section by far—like, bottom-of-the-barrel low. And here’s the thing: I know I didn’t bomb it. I distinctly remember missing only one question (clonidine vs. naltrexone for opiate withdrawal), but that’s it. There’s no way missing one question tanks an entire section.
What gives? How does a historically strong section crash like this without a clear reason? If it were test-day nerves or fatigue, wouldn’t all my sections drop? But Respiratory, which I thought went well, was completely fine. NBOME’s “verification” process just confirmed that “answers were recorded,” but that doesn’t tell me if they were graded correctly. Did they use the wrong key? Was there a scanning error? They won’t give me any real answers.
Has anyone else had a single section plummet inexplicably?
