Writing this up post-STEP, and I got my P yesterday thankfully.

I was one of those people, who did great on my NBMEs but bombed the Free120 (70+ -> 60%). I ended up delaying my exam by 2 weeks because I was shocked and didn’t know how to approach the drop. I didn’t find very useful advice on Reddit either.

Making this post for anyone reading to add in their two cents on how someone should diagnose and adjust their study plan after a drop on Free120. When someone should delay their exam vs push forward. And how to manage the drop in confidence that comes with a score decrease so soon before test day.

I hope the contributions help any future readers
