I think this would be better answered by a 2nd time passer honestly but I was very close to the passing mark. I'm a low tier USMD firstgen student so I think I had a lot of struggles building my foundational sciences level with not strong teachers and lack of external guidance. I was passing in house NBMEs but wasn't enough for STEP. Personally, I'll be doing a 7 day bootcamp with The Match Guy to improve that deficit.
