    I just failed the USMLE exam. 😔🥺 I cannot begin to articulate the level of embarrassment and heartache I'm feeling. This is so heartbreaking 💔

      Just say "I haven't passed yet." Don't take it as a failure but see it as a learning opportunity. There is a lot of power in "Yet", you are telling yourself that you will get there and that your eyes and heart are still fixed on your goal.

      I took the step 1 last month. I'm very disappointed, the exam is not even close to the practice material that the prep book sells online. The level of difficulty is like 5x or 6x.

    I literally spent New Years Eve of 1999 taking Step 1. Failed by one point. Seeing your videos brings back a lot of memories of my med school experience.
    Ultimately I passed Step 1 but later went on to leave medical school permanently. By this time, I had technically completed all of third year. Why I left is a soap opera in its own right but it was the best decision I ever made.

    Hi Maddie, I'm an IMG and also going through the same journey as you. I feel you a lot about all the step process. Thanks for posting this video. It took a lot courage to do this, but it helps for those who were just going through the same to have someone to discuss about this matter. I hope that you are doing better now. Wish can have a chance to talk with you personally. Blessings.

    Will you be taking step when it is pass/fail then? If so I feel like your match chances should be much improved

    • @jacksmith659
      @jacksmith659 3 года назад +1

      I think when it changes to pass/fail then there will be more chances for med students to move forward. I am not sure once it changes how someone would be evaluated. I am thinking they will find something else to look at like grades or something else. Not sure. But I am sure this change will give a sigh of relief to med students.

    Thank you for the video. ❤️ I am foreign medical graduate in 2009 and did my residency in internal medicine in my country finish in 2013. I moved to the United States in 2016 . Currently I am a citizen. I am 37 years old. I haven't worked since this year. I am a mom staying at home. Firstable trying to learn English that is not proficient yet. I take step 1 October 2021 and I fail and I will retaken in two days but unfortunately take three NMBE tests and don't reach the pass rate. I am so frustrated. My question is what is my opportunity to enter the residency if I failed twice step 1 ??? I heard that it is better not to go to the exam so that it is not registered, that means, a red flag, that is true??? Please I need advice. Thank you so much!!!!!

      @imthrillz5255 Год назад

      With a failed Step 1 as a US IMG your odds of matching into residency even if you do pass USMLE are slim. Your best odds are to apply to FM or IM.

    • @darlenecortez8897
      @darlenecortez8897 Год назад

      Thank you for your answer. Yes, I know my probabilities are low for matching I heard about IMG can do it, but I don't know what I will do. What do you mean with FM or IM? I am thinking study for PA (Physician assistant) or somebody told me about Nurse practitioner@@imthrillz5255

    what happens if you fail USMEL step 1 multiple times? you

    • @MaddiexChase
      @MaddiexChase  Год назад +1

      Great question! You take take step 1 up to 6 times total and 3 times within 12 months. After the 3rd time, you must wait 6 months until your 4th attempt which must also be at least 12 months from your first attempt. I hope this helps! Many schools won’t let you move on to 3rd year until you receive a passing score

    • @cowanyip4255

      I’m afraid that your chance to get in the residence program would be greatly diminished, especially if you are an IMG. Hopefully that never happened to you.

      Step 1 is much more difficult than the rest. Try not to become too confident .
