So frustrating!

I took an NBME self assessment practice exam this morning, and got the exact same score as on the real step 1 that I took in April. Arg!!! So close to passing... yet not. Not even close to where I need to be. On the bright side, at least my score didn't go down and I still have 27 scheduled days of studying between now and my scheduled re-test date. Can I do this?

You go girl! Change your perspective from "can I do it?" to "I can and will damnit!" So much of step 1 is mental: (Confidence x 2) + 1,000,000 questions = Passing Step 1

Thanks for the encouragement!! It is much appreciated right about now as I face day after day of monotonous studying [instead of being on the wards with my classmates]...
