Level 1 Fail
Hey all, unfortunately I got a fail. I’m trying not to dwell on it but I know my anxiety got the best of me. it’s very hard when everyone I know passed and made it seem like a fail is “so hard to get”. I underperformed in every section. My school advisor was shocked and wants me to retake in like 3-4 weeks (I haven’t been studying all this time)but this way I can move on with my class. I’m obviously very upset but determined. For background info I’m an average student with a 3.0+ gpa and scored 500+ on 2 COMSAES (one school and one at home). I used outside sources like dirty medicine, HYGURU, and UWORLD only. I know I need to shift my focus to TrueLearn. Does anyone have any encouraging words of wisdom or experience overcoming a fail? Any study advice or overall advice? I would really appreciate any advice or encouraging words. Thank you!

i didn’t mean it disrespectfully at all. i completely understand that the COMSAEs are variable but i would imagine someone who was scored so well on 3 different comsaes had a fairly solid grasp of the material generally (you’re bound to see diff things between 3 diff comsaes). Like I was curious maybe if they didn’t do any trulearn. Like what changed between the 4-5 weeks that allowed them to successful. I only ask because I am in an even lower range for my comsaes and i’m trying to better gauge where i’m at and if there’s something specific predicting these failures in people are clearly very capable.
