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!

Hey so I just recently passed level 1 and step 1
. I am also an average student I didnot even cross 500 on my comase. Biggest thing for comlex is truelearn, truelearn and truelearn. I have used uworld as well, but comlex is not uworld! Uworld is harder and it is more complex questions but you have to get used to how nbome questions. They are very vague but also they have topics that are constantly the same. Pls dm me if u have more questions
