hi ,i gave my part 1 last yr about the same time,got a score of 81 and was extremely dissapointed,weighed all the options and i guess the best one is to retake part 1.i dint apply to any college as i know it doesnt make any sense.but it took me a long one yr to convince myself to retake part 1 and i guess thats the best bet.however i was wondering has anyone taken the kaplan course in whole or the question bank and has it helped.if anyone is retaking part 1 and wud be wiling to be a study partner please reply.and let me know if u r joining kaplan.
