hello there
Don't give up. it's a big exam and will be worth it at the end. If you made it through medical school, you can conquer the exam. I know it's frustrating, and I don't know what you have done in the past but maybe you need to try a different approach. Get a serious study partner. Read out loud and if you need someone just to talk to from time to time, please feel free to email me. If you can't find someone close to you do it over the phone. but DO IT. no one else would understand what we have to go through unless they have been there, not faTHER, mother, husbands or wives. Don't lose courage. I know someone who took the exam a total of 12 times. step 1, 5 times, step 2, 5 times and step 3, 2 times and today is done with residency, so whenever I start feeling discouraged, I remember this person, so I want to encourage you. HANG IN THERE. it will be worth it.
