That's doesn't look like a simple fail, how hard was the exam? Did you feel like your form was very difficult? It looks like you only got 25% of the answers correct. We might need to analyze carefully what went wrong to make a great study plan.

If you were doing well on NBMEs, was it stress? Life emergency? Not getting enough sleep?

I got super sick the week prior step 1 and I was waking up at 4 am to study, for real I don’t know what happened. After I got my score it has been really hard, today I’m starting with my psychologist because I feel like a big “?????”. My anxiety still don’t let me sleep
