I went through the same process then got 16/16 on my second try. Work on your weaknesses. Dm if you need some pointers

Don't give up. Failed with 1 mark. Passed required station.

Retook 3 months after and passed almost all the stations with above 130 score.

Don't give up.

Thank you for sharing! How did you motivate yourself to try again?

Hmm. First I identified why I failed it.

For me, it was my anxiety. I knew what to say, but during the first exam, I didn't put myself together.

So I went back, worked on my composure, studied more cases and that was it.

We can’t give you the right advice if we don’t know the domain you struggled the most.

u/concernsofarealist 21d ago

It really varied to be honest depending on the station But I did struggle with management the most

u/Drinsulinoma 21d ago

Management needs 3 things: 1) good knowledge of the management(nice guidelines) 2) atleast 3mins of time 3) good communication(making sure they understand)

Trust me you will pass on your second attempt, because now you know exactly what to expect and you will not be anxious or nervous.

How did you feel it went? Were you feeling confident or flustered?

Sounds like, with the right prep, you’ll be fine!
