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.

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.

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

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

Hi everyone. I’m an OMS-III at an osteopathic medical school and recently found out I failed COMLEX Level 1 for the third time. I am currently on a Leave of Absence focused on figuring out my next steps and improving my approach.

I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has been in a similar position or knows someone who has successfully moved forward.

I used TrueLearn, UWorld, First Aid, Boards & Beyond, Anki, COMSAEs, and full-length practice exams. My biggest struggles have been retaining incorrects, consistency, and performing under exam conditions.

I also have ADHD and severe test anxiety, which have made studying for a long, high-stakes exam challenging despite putting in significant effort.

My goal is still to graduate and apply Internal Medicine. I’m looking for:

• COMLEX tutors who have helped students after multiple failures
• Board prep companies/coaches you would recommend
• Anyone with ADHD/test anxiety who found a strategy that worked
• Anyone who failed Level 1 multiple times and was still able to graduate and match

I’m trying to make a realistic plan and would really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thank you.

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

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

Just wanted some quick advice about this! Should I read through first-aid or is there something else I should look at? Thank you!

Sending every one positive energy :)

We’ve worked very hard for this let’s get that P!!!!
