don't know if there are any of you out there... who failed... and now passed.... what did you do differently? where do you find the strength to do it again. I was fairly consistent 60% + on q-bank and felt confident i would at least pass. But I missed by 1 point! I honestly felt that my test was not representative of what Kaplan teaches... the 3 "p's"... i had much more focus on biochem and immunology... any help would be appreciated.

Just don't get discouraged! Do a ton of timed tests and focus on what you're getting wrong. It seems like you weren;t far off base--you'll do fine as long as your nerves hold up.

i know man how you would feel . failure definitely hurts but dont forget that its one of the stepping stones for success .

I thought that most of the questions i got were basically a test of the concepts and how you would apply them in the presented scenario . Nothing directly from the books i found on the exam .

I did fine with the Kaplan course material . I never took any coaching from them ....but borrowed the material from a friend and read . I also did first aid for usmle

that should fine man ...i guess . it did fine for me . got a 98 . bye take care and all the best
