    Did you give the exam in your internship? What are your views on extending internship and taking a break of 2- 3 months in internship to give step 1 so that i can go for clinical rotations, or graduate first then prepare for step 1 and then do observerships?

    Hi! Thanks for the video, it was super helpful!
    This may sound silly but what did you have the morning of the exam for breakfast and what helped you stay awake through the exam?
