It doesn't mean that you don't know the material . Don't try and relearn everything ...master first aid and do UW ..and don't take the usmle unless u are ready ..if the school expells u , then big deal ..with a passing score u can get in anywhere ..

This is the advice I gave my friend . Once she can hit 420 , I think thats SAFE ( 420 on NBME 4 or NBME 3 )

good luck ...and please don't give u p////....u came too far
Well I do do first aid. I felt the only thing first aid really helped me with was the pharm and micro sections on USMLE. For everything else it seemed like those basterds (USMLE) were asking everything else that was not in first aid. So i dont know if memorizing is enough. I need to learn to put 2 + 2 together to get 4. This is probably the problem I am having. I think my knowledge is there but applying it is a issue.
