Hello Ms. Alyssa. May i first say your name is prettier than the Taj Mahal on the banks of the River Yamuna. Unfortunately, I have heard of things like this back in my home country of India. During my United States Medical Licensing Examination-Step the First exam in the city of Mumbai, i was caught with three samosas (delicate fried potato snacks) in the back pocket for snacking during the break time. The proctor, who let us say was a lover of the sweets, was eyeing my back pocket the entire time I was taking my test. He was very ugly so I assumed he was from Bangladesh. I was first thinking he was of homosexual because he was looking at my rear end the entire test, but then i realized that it was the samosas that he was truly eyeing. As you must know, bringing snack of any kind, fried or not, is banned, even in Mumbai. I became flustered. My forehead was sweating so much the drops came on the keyboard and caused electric short circuit. My keyboard was nonfunctional. I was forced to take Emergency Break Time, and the proctor approached me. He said bluntly "i know what you have and i want them badly. If you do not give them to me, you cannot be doctor." I handed the samosas to him, but then when he asked for the associated chutney with which the samosas taste ever so great, I had to say "sorry sir, i do not have any." The proctor then became furious. He said "i did not become test proctor to deal with this sort of thing. I must report this situation to the USMLE. " i had panic attack. Much like you, the proctor told me to get some water. Unfortunately it was tap water infected with EHEC so bloody diarrhea ensued. While i was making hemorrhagic stool, my proctor forced me to finish the exam. He pulled the computer to the restroom and make me take last three blocks with my rear end on the toilet seat and my anus on fire. I could not annotate my test items because he failed to replace the one i had destroyed with my sweat. I finished the exam, lost consciousness because of dehydration, went to hospital, developed Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, recovered, was discharged. By this time, my score was ready. It said 147. I was hoping for 266. On the score report, it sayed "Irregular activity was present during test". I was shocked by this. All things considered, my exam experience was highly routine and nothing out of the ordinary. I am going to retake exam in the US of A. I hear everyone passes here so I will pursue my Ophthomalogy dreams here. Alyssa Johnson, your exam experience seems to be highly inappropriate. From your account, you were not even in GI distress when you were forced to take Emergency Break Time. For what reason you took break? Did you have second thoughts about becoming doctor? I wish you the very best with your score, Ms. Johnson.
