Hi
I am an img from Peru , unfortunately i failed my step 1 first time 2 months ago, my score was 71 :cry: ( you pass with 75) , now I am preparing very hard to take it again in 2 months, I tried QB-kaplan , and now I am studying from the Board review system books. I am a little afraid and confused :? , I heard that its very hard to get into residency if you have failed step 1 for an IMG , but also I heard that is worst passing it with a low score . I would like to know what could be my possibilities if I get more than 80 in this exam? What is the importance in the interviews or to get a possition in internal medicine if you failed step1? Do program directors realize on it?
Please i NEED advice
thank you
