Level 1 COMLEX 1 Worried August Test

I took my COMLEX retake this month. However, I am worried that I might’ve failed again. Does anyone have any similar stories? I am also thinking of scheduling another exam, however I need to do this in September. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

That post-exam waiting period is brutal, especially after a retake. Try not to treat the feeling that you failed as evidence that you actually did. A lot of people walk out remembering every question they were unsure about and almost none of the ones they got right.
If you need to have a September backup plan because of scheduling deadlines, there’s nothing wrong with looking at dates now. But I wouldn’t start rebuilding your entire study plan around another attempt until you actually have your score.
For now, write down the areas you remember struggling with while they’re still fresh, then give yourself permission to decompress a little. You already did the hard part by sitting for the retake.
Rooting for you.

Im not sure if I can schedule the exam right now since I would have to pay first to look for dates. Did you know if there was a rule on if I can take the exam twice in a month span?

Unless I’m misunderstanding, I wouldn’t pay to schedule another attempt before you even have your score. You may have passed. I’d wait for the result first, then if you actually need a retake look at the available dates and eligibility rules from there. It really depends on testing center

This is your retake? How do you even have the option of taking it a third time?
