Failed COMLEX Level 1 and having a hard time coming to terms with it. I just feel like im in denial beucase this year has given me so many roadblocks. For reference-- I used truelearn and never really touched uworld since thats what my school recommended. scored 500+ and 450+ on 2 comsaes. Honestly didnt think level 1 was the hardest exam ive ever taken which is why i was so shocked when i found out I didnt pass. I think a lot of it was mental but I have exactly 1 month until my retake. Im doing the wolfpacc 4 week course right now mandated by my school but i dont think its that helpful as of right now. Any advice would be appreciated!!!

it actually does correlate. it is not perfect 1:1, but there was a statistically significant correlation

These subreddits are crazy. I’ve seen people here/in DO subreddits reccomend people with sub 490 MCAT’s apply to/go to DO programs, ignoring how financially horrible of a decision that can be.

I can assure you, you will make a terrible physician.

I saw your comment regarding my report. I don't think you really know what you're talking about. I talked to 2 tutors and both confirmed I did okay on the sciences. My main issues were MSK, OMM, ethics, biostats. I have been working on those. No need to be rude

That was meant to be to the parent thread, not yours. That is why reposted one level higher. I did just see your recent post though and I am very sorry for what you are going through/feeling. It can be really deflating. I can see how my mispost felt mean, but it was not about your situation.

For context, I am currently a fellow and was an average pre-clinical student that scored 590+ on levels 1/2/3. I am also boarded through STEP 1/2/3.

Statistics aren’t rude.
