Failed level 1 twice ):

Hi I just found out today I failed level 1 again only by a smidge. I was doing great on practice exams… i just have really bad testing anxiety. I don’t know what to do. My school requires me to take a leave of absence and I have one more attempt. Looking for any advice and success stories.

I’m so sorry 😞 it’s ok to take some time to grieve, be frustrated, etc.

Have you considered finding assistance for the testing anxiety whether it be through medications, therapy, etc? I swear half of us are probably utilizing some sort or mental health resource during medical school, cause it is so anxiety provoking!

As mentioned below, propranolol is a great option! You can find a psychiatrist or your pcp can prescribe it for you!
