This dude definitely needs a reality check, at the end of the day, no matter how much you know or how much knowledge you have, you still failed a standardized test, and for you to not do it again, the first thing is to accept what happened, and try to identify your mistakes as best you can.
I am not hating on him, I left the exam feeling so confident, I honestly gave it my best shot and I still failed. So now when I look back, I can clearly identify what I did wrong, despite having good knowledge, I think I just didn't do enough NBMEs, I feel NBME 20 through 31 are a must, and if you failed maybe even try doing the earlier ones.
Also, I agree with you Dr. Nguyen about how it's really important to simulate exam situation when doing NBME's. I used to look up answers like him, and it def gave me a false ego boost and he needs to def practice NBME's in a way to simulate exam conditions, and maybe try doing 2 a day, and review next day to simulate the length of the exam. Also, maybe read through notes, but honestly by the end of it, its all practice, so notes are just for light reading, Qbank and NBME's should be his target.
What do you think?
Thank you for your view and comment! I believe everyone, regardless of controversy, will need a reality check every now and then! I can say I’ve definitely had my fair share since starting my medical career and tutoring medical students! I definitely agree that you have to first accept what had happened and correct your mistakes and just do the best of your abilities and put in the work!
As an update, this student passed his second attempt and was scoring around 75-80 percent raw score on his practice tests prior to his second attempt! Very proud of this student to overcome this obstacle in his career. He will become a very good physician in the near future!

I failed in October. I felt like i was ready based on my NBME and Free120 scores but bombed the real deal… Now I am so afraid of retaking it because I’m afraid of failing again.
Dr Nguyen here. You are not alone! You are not less of a future physician! Keep your head up. If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to email me! I want to let you and other medical students know that it is ok! Let’s bounce back together and become better one day at a time!

Appreciate the support of the channel by your view!
I have no respect for this dude...sorry. Firstly, why is he face blurry? He is so proud and ashamed that he is scared of showing his face? We have all failed at some point in life...I would have respected him more if he was BOLD enough to show his face...Plus from the way he talks, you can tell he is VERY arrogant.. I would hate to be his patient...goodluck to him though...back to my studying..
Hey Dr. Nguyen here. I edit all of the channel's videos so I purposely hide all student faces to protect my students' privacy on the channel because they are kind enough to allow me to record and use our sessions as education for others. There are a lot of students who struggle with Step and had to overcome this obstacle. This was his personal experience and I respect him a lot for allowing others to learn from him. He will be an amazing physician I can guarantee that. He passed with flying colors his second attempt and is honoring all his clinical rotations currently. Don't count anyone out who has the desire and strength to get back up when they face adversity. It's not always about the destination, the journey of self development is very important. Thank you for your comment and opinion! Good luck studying!
