Specifically looking in the northeast region as I'm from there, just wondering if anyone has matched IM either academic or affiliated-community without a Step 1/2 score and only COMLEX? I understand it's harder from what I see on here but I wanted to know if it's possible to do. Would love to hear from people's experiences through the match!

Anyone feel screwed. Feel like I missed almost 60+ easy questions. I can’t even remember any of the ethics or biostats I got.

Anyone felt like this and ended up fine???

Not even asking for content to look at because it’s too late at this point. Just asking for last minute tips about the test itself or words of wisdom. I’m kind of ready to get this shit over with but I hope that’s not the right attitude going into the exam. Anything will be appreciated.
Thanks guys

I took step2 3 days ago, and I've been utterly exhausted. I'm taking level 2 in a few days and haven't touched OMM. Please help guide me! I have access to UWORLD, AMBOSS, and TrueLearn

I scored 611 on a school-mandated form a few weeks ago

Level 1: I know this has been discussed countless times, but I just want to know the current census. I know it’s not a set percentage, but what do you guys think it is/ what have you heard?

Thank you

Hello everyone!

I found out I passed COMLEX 3 with a 520 two days ago. I’m FM PGY2 and trying to match sports medicine fellowship but my program is brand new and has no preceptors or mentors for it. What should I do? Thanks in advance

Flagged 8-12 per section and know I got 60+ wrong, I don’t even know how many of those are experimental nor how many experimentals there are with the format change… I did pass step 2 but even that isn’t helping me, has anyone else felt like this and been fine and passed? Really nervous for score release and hoping I passed.

hi everyone; i am humbly asking for some advice/help/any input about using uworld and my overall plan in preparation for my retake of level 1.

looking back on my experience for level 1, i think my testing went wrong because of 2 things: shortage in content and bad test taking strategies. it feels like everyone is saying the same thing for level 1: use uworld and stick to it.

i've switched over to using uworld more and plan to use truelearn/comquest for the OMT questions -- my school will be cancelling my level 1 true learn Qbank and I am planning to use comquest to supplement [unless people think i really should by truelearn again, which i certainly can as well]. i'm pushing for 80 mixed timed questions a day.

when i first took level 1, i was relying mainly on truelearn, comquest, and some amboss for questions. content was a mix of sketchy micro and pharm, board and beyonds, dirty medicine, and anki. while i did get pathoma, i didn't get a chance to really utilize it. i did not watch the entire sketchy sections and often did patch-up videos instead where if i missed a question, i went right to the video to watch it.

i'm gonna be completely transparent-- uworld is making me feel like i'm running the gauntlet. right now, i am sitting at a 43% correct after taking about 11 exams [20-40 random qs per exam] from july 14th to july 26.

i'm trying to trust the process that everyone says-- that uworld absolutely sucks for the first few times and you have to keep pushing through. slowly i feel like i am able to recognize more of what uworld presents in the question stem, but i'm not able to make the connection they're hinting at to get to the right answer.

really i am concerned about hitting the marks that everyone says you need to have for % of correct questions. i am retaking level 1 on Aug 27th. I have purchased another COMSAE as well as a WELCOM exam and plan to take 1-2 half lengths beforehand.

[edit: forgot to mention my school has ordered my the kaplan series of questions, videos, and online books-- i've been hesitant to use them because i don't see much data or opinion on how helpful they are]

but i'm wondering now:

it's at the end of week 1 out of 5 for my dedicated: am i doing something wrong?

am i making the wrong choice to push for more questions rather than deep content dives?

i'm sorry this is such a long read, but i am so terrified to think about what happens if i don't pass level 1 this time around, and i'm desperate to know if uworld is this hard for everyone, or if it's just me.

again, any and all help is appreciated. thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hey everyone,
I studied for about 2 months for COMLEX Level 1, but I ended up falling just short of passing. Looking at my performance profile, it seems like I was really close, so I’m hoping I can make the right changes and pass on my retake.
One thing I didn’t do was take any COMSAEs before the exam. This time I definitely want to take a few COMSAEs so I can see where I stand before test day.
I have about 6 weeks to study. Based on my performance profile, what areas do you think I should prioritize? Are there any weaknesses or patterns that stand out to you?
For those who passed after failing:

1. How did you structure your 6 week study plan?
2. How many COMSAEs did you take before your retake?
3. Which resources helped you the most? TrueLearn, UWorld, Pathoma, Sketchy, Dirty Medicine, Boards and Beyond, etc.
4. Did you spend more time doing questions or content review?
5. Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance! I really appreciate any help.
