So little bit of a freakout. I took the tests last week, comlex on Monday and usmle on Friday. Completely unsure if I passed either test to be honest. Should I keep studying in case I didn't pass the comlex? I'm a DO student so that's the main one that we have to pass. I just legitimately do not know if I passed.
 
When i took step 1, 2ck and 2cs i was certain i failed them all but i did fine. Its so easy to dwell on your fears around this test and when you do so you only focus on those questions you think you screwed up and never consider all the questioms you did well on. I honestly believe that having that 'i just failed' feeling is part of the gig and would really advise against spending the next month stewing about your score and studying for a test that you will most likely not need to retake. Especially if doing so could interfere with your rotations.

How did you do on the COMSAEs?

Thanks, it is pretty hard not to over-think this.
