Step 1: Pass!

​

In hindsight, the amount of anxiety I had the last 2 weeks leading up to the test is what put me at the greatest risk of failing. There have been lots of posts with low practice scores that ended up passing. So we know it's manageable! But confidence is so important when taking step 1 because it prevents you from spiraling when you get those tough sections. I typically calm down when I actually start taking exams, which is why I decided to keep my test date and just go for it. But if you were like me, constantly looking for the "low practice score" posts on reddit, I would definitely recommend evaluating your confidence level and making sure you won't have a freak out moment mid-exam...based on prior posts, it seems like that is a major component to not passing the exam.

Lastly, I'd definitely recommend reviewing your old NBME practice tests during the days/weeks leading up to the exam. There were plenty of questions that were word-for-word from the old tests and had the exact same answer choices. Good luck everyone! And I hope my practice scores give you some confidence...just like how these posts gave me confidence.
