STEP 1 retake

[LSS1]

I'm looking for advice. I failed step 1 and was absolutely devastated because I felt adequately prepared. My practice test scores were really good as well as my uworld average. For those of you that were in my situation that retook and pass what did you do differently for your second dedicated study period. I'm so frustrated at this point I don't really know what else to do.

If your scores were good, maybe you should talk to a psychiatrist/therapist about test anxiety? I took a beta blocker during my exam.

What do you mean by "good?"

I failed back in april, retook in 6 weeks and passed. I spent about a week and a half going over the 3 topics I was lowest on according to my score report. I did BnB (except path i did pathoma ch 1-3), First Aid and UWorld specific questions. Once I was going well on those 3 topics, I incorporated back in mixed UWorld blocks. Last few weeks leading up I did a form 30 retake and got a 72.5%, took form 28 for the first time and got a 71.5%, and got 70% on the new free 120.

I also think this depends on how close you were the first time. I was super close to passing the first time so I knew I was right there, just one more push and I would be set.
