    I just found our i failed step 1. And I'm feeling really lost and hopeless. I'm an IMG and work full time. I was waking up to study at 2 am every day before job and i was feeling so so confident after taking the exam and i really thought i performed good and found out i missed 1 or 2 points to pass. I'm trying to find the strength to start again! I tried this morning but every time I'm trying to sit down and start again i just can't 😓 your words give me a lot of strength and hope. I maybe should take a few days to breathe and start again❤️

      Dani Alt I also failed. I failed in 2018, I don’t know what to do now. I feel lost and confused sometimes about my degree. What made you start studying again?

    Thanks for that!! I have a low STEP1 score; wanted to be a surgeon since before I started this journey, I kind of settled for my "parallel" program. I think I'll do what you did and apply to what I really want. Thank you

      It'sJustNumi do not be discouraged by your low score. Just trust that the score you received will be the one god uses to open doors for you. Trust me!! Just trust god and close your ears to the he or she say. US img here as well, literally BARELY passed Step 1. And I just found out I Matched three weeks ago. Just trust god and the reason you are on this journey. You WILL make it.

    Thank you Dr. Griffin. Your story is really inspiring and truly wholesome :) I couldn't have found the video at a better time- it's been pretty rough in med school and it's so true that medicine doesn't stop for life, and we are expected to keep moving with it :) It's great to see success stories like yours! Thank you for posting :)

    Hi , I m an IMG .I passed my graduation (mbbs) in 2014 . I gave usmle step 1 in 2015 but failed . Its been 5 yrs. I want to give all step 1 again. Does gap after graduation matters ? Should i wait upto 2022 so that after 7 yrs from 1st attempt the score doesnt last . Please make me clear . Thanks in advance 😀
