So, I just got my results back today and I failed by a standard deviation (according to the the three digit number) below 187. My two digit number was 65 and 75 was passing. I did not do an internal medicine internship/transitional year. I scored well in the CCS. My UW was 48% overall (it was my only study material and it took me a month to get throuhg), one time through with random blocks of 20 questions. I have 4 months to retake it, before there could be possible trouble with my residency program.
After reading all these forums, it seems like people are only failing by a point, and with the SEM (Standard error of measurement) could have had a good chance of passing if they simply took it the next day, sans studying. Considering I was pretty far from passing, I was wondering if anyone had any advise as to what to do. Am I sunk? Is there too little time to learn that much internal medicine in such a short period of time, while still working in my residency program?
Has anyone heard of someone scoring this low the first time and coming back to pass round two? Any information would be greatly appreciated, be it yes you can or no you are sunk. Honesty is what I am looking for. Thank you.
