From feeling overwhelmed by CBSE to the "P" on Step 1: My journey + offering a hand to those still in the thick of it.

I remember the exact moment I realized my CBSE scores weren’t where they needed to be. Between the density of the material and the sheer mental fatigue of Step 1 that is make or break as an IMG, there were weeks where I didn't think I'd see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I recently found out I passed Step 1, and looking back, the "click" didn't come from doing more questions, but it came from changing how I integrated the info. I moved soon to the East Coast to start my clinicals, and while life is busy, I realized how much I actually enjoy breaking down these concepts now that the pressure of the exam itself is off.

If you are currently struggling with CBSE prep or feeling stuck in a score plateau for Step, I’d love to help you navigate it. I’m looking to take on a few students to help with content review, schedule building, or just high-yield strategy sessions.

I’ve been where you are and know how isolating this process feels as this was the most isolated I ever felt thus far in this life. If you want to chat about how I can help you get over the hump, send me a DM and let’s talk details.

Hi! Anyone stressed if they failed? I passed CBSE with a 73 and took new free 120 before exam and got a 80%. I walked out the exam feeling like I failed. I only remember about 70 questions and the rest I have no clue. The scariest thing is not remembering what I put and felt so brain fogged during exam. The exam was on low yield topics that were not portrayed on nbmes or free 120 for my version. Do you think I passed? I can’t even enjoy the present right now

Did anyone find this exam to question your entire 3-5 month study journey? I feel like I failed and scored 70s on NBME 25-33 and with a CBSE >72 and free120 of a 77. I feel so defeated. Flagged majority of the exam and made simple mistakes. I don’t know how to sit with this feeling knowing I walked out feeling like I have to reconsider my entire career over again. I really hope I passed. Trusted the 98% chance of passing after my cbse but I feel like I failed genuinely. Does anyone feel this way?
