Bye Bye USMLE

PLease do comment and share it with others. 
Alright... 
I am an img...i was preparing for usmle...gave my step 1 ..got a poor score of 205/85... 
I have decided to quit my journey further...cause i see no point in going toward a future..where uncertainity is at its peak... 
My seniors didnt help me much either...they said u can try and give it a shot and see if it works for u..make contacts...people at all forums , mostly one doesnt get replies at all..but even if one does they say " ohh i know of this guy who got matched at a score similar to yours in an university / or other programs" but seriously where are these guys...i couldnt find a single guy with low scores who matched in IM...( and please a green card really helps...for people like me...who have no green card there are slim chances) 

I know of guys who had low scores didnt got matched...did research...then even didnt got matched...
Some of them took up FM...( they had applied for both) 
Actually i have just heard about them...

The deal is ...no one can understand ...they always say yeah do try...its what u always wanted...and these are the guys with 230s score always... 
Is there really a point to spend soo many $$ and soo much of time...just to improve ur cv... 
Well some of u might disagree..but my aim was to get into a good residency...my aim isnt just going to the usa..

Is there a single guy out there who is an img...with low score...with no green card...with no contacts...just with electives... Maybe a research ...who got matched at an IM program...??? 


As for me...these were just thoughts accumulated over time...sorry if i discourage anyone...
I will settle for my home md now...maybe do mrcp later and apply in dubai / singapore...or maybe enter usa via the direct fellowship route..if i get in radio / anaesthesia...



All the best all....any replies..( i know hardly anyone replies on posts like these) but still....WILL BE APPRECIATED

MRCS PART A – EXPERIENCE

DURATION OF STUDY – 3.5-4 months (with work )  Pattern of study  Paper 1 ( Basic sciences )  Anatomy – Emrcs with NASA khan notes ( best part about these notes are he copied all the colourful pics from Snell’s anatomy along with emrcs theory ) . Make small pics for imagination of anatomical relationship .... A big chunk of questions are from anatomy , this needs to be done in a crystal clearway .. Physiology – raftry with emrcs  Pathology – raftry few topics and emrcs Pharma and micro – emrcs  I read raftry for physio complete twice , patho and micro once only  Biostatistics – emrcs  For basic sciences reading emrcs with its theory is more than enough with few references from text books to make the concepts clear  Fawzia sheets for paper one is very very very important , somehow in every session of this examination RCS is putting almost 50-60% paper from these sheets ... Don’t leave them .... Read them at least three times .... Pape...

MY Step 2 CK Experience 284 Medhat Farwati

Dear (future) Doctors, I am Medhat Farwati, a Syrian graduate from Aleppo University, Faculty of Medicine. Hereby I share with you my experience with Step 2 CK. 1. Score: 284 2. Self-assessments: UWSA 1: 273 (2 months out) UWSA 2: 276 ( 1 week out) NBME 7: 277 (1 week out) NBME 8: 280 (3 days out) 3. Preparation time: After I was done with Step 1, I moved to the US as a postdoctoral research fellow. As such, I realized it is going to be challenging to navigate my research du ties, US rotations, Step 2 CS exam, and Step 2 CK preparation. Collectively, the actual preparation time for CK was 12 months with an average studying time ranging from 4 hours a day for the first 10 months to 8 hours a day for the last 2 months prior to my exam. 4. Materials used: UW Step 2 CK (x3) UW Step 3 (x2) Kaplan Q bank (x1) Internal Medicine Essentials Q bank De Virgilio (surgery textbook) Up to date and Medscape Google, YouTube, and Siri 😊 UW Step 2: Your baseline. Most people preparing for CK rega...
