I'm waiting for my Step 1 score back but am nervous about how I'm feeling. I know everyone says they felt terrible post-exam, but they always seem to follow it up with "I know I got 15 wrong in every section!!!" Or, "I looked up all my wrong ones and I got x,y,z correct/incorrect!"
I, on the other hand, legitimately do not even know how to feel. I can't even begin to estimate how many I might have gotten wrong per block because I felt like I was half guessing most of the time. Occasionally there was a question I was confident in. But for every one of those there was also a "holy crap I know I used to know this from the beginning of my study period and I can't remember it right now..." question.
The whole day just felt like a blur and I was so happy to be done, but I can't help but feeling down lately because of this. My dean just sent out the "Step 2 notification" to my class last week, and I think that's what reignited these feelings. It seems like everyone around me studied for Step 1 perfectly (multiple passed through Uworld, FA, sketchymicro, Pathoma, goljan, etc). Meanwhile I can think of so many mistakes I made during studying and it's really making me feel like a bad, lazy person.
Did anyone else out there have similar feelings after their exam?
I was hoping for a 230 but now I just don't want to fail.
