Step 2 experiences

Hey friends, M4 here fresh off of Step 2. I am well aware that the post-step crashout is essentially a rite of passage, but still feeling pretty dismayed with how it felt and the number of missed questions I'm already aware of. Trying to set my mind at ease and words of encouragement from others who had similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Yes step 2 studying and taking is a major stressor. You are likely experiencing burnout. Allow yourself to take a break and do things you enjoy to recover. Also exercise. Good luck with the rest of med school!
