I study through the weekends (though not all day, maybe 4-5 hours per day). There were way more videos then I expected having about 4-5 a section and I would have to Failed Step 1. If I got a really hard one I bet the score would come out better. I did at least 2000 MBEs in practice, 80 essays, and 14 MPTs and would score around 65-70% on the MBEs and consistently did well on MPTs but I’m still absolutely certain I failed. My condition is really pathetic as I wrote max 2 pages in a paper with max like 8 words in a sentence. Any questions feel free to ask. congrats op i failed a step last year, partly for reasons that were out of my control. Contemplate life"what if I failed?" TL;DR: Passed step 3 on second attempt with 208. I failed my first time at 265Qs (post in my history if you care), then used uworld and passed in an hour with 75Qs. gy sk yx zr oz vq my ub tw gf
