Personally I really do not now. Honestly its kind of depressing. I have been studying soo long. I took a yr off to study for the first time and than didnt make it so decided to start my rotations. I completed about 1 yr of my rotations and took almost another yr off and didnt make it.

I have done kaplan and the pass program.

I know that I know my material but maybe I am having problem the way they are testing the stuff.

The first time I took the nbme my score was all over the place. a few bars on the right a few on the left and a few in the middle. Now my score has imporved a bit but the good news is that my scores are consistently in the middle (it means I am able to anwser alot more questions and not guessing as much).

I have started a new post at http://www.valuemd.com/usmle-step-1-...core-asap.html And have been doing some of the advice.

I am really shooting to get my score up another 100-150 points and then will feel comfortable in taking the exam.

I have a issue with my school that says if I do not start my rotations by May I will be expelled. Althought I am going to try to start I am not sure If my score will increase 100-150 in 1 month. Considering how I have been studying soo long and not even have a good score. Most likely what I am doing is not helping. I FEEL RETARTED.
