hi nisha, i understand how do you feel. I failed too in December, I got my repor inlate january. however, take this as the first step to keep going. take the books again, and work hard in the weakness area you got from the test results.
good luck.

read more on ethics, biostats. get the most recent. check your performance profile on the back of your score report to see. do the NBME qs at:http://www.nbme.org/programs/sas.asp
i found those qs are quite similar to the real exam both in content and difficulty levels. try to get close to 500. u will be at 86+ on the real thing. good luck!

Hi Nisha, first of all just relax. take a look at the back of the score report. u can see in which subjects u got low performance. usually these are ur weak areas. u can judge it urself whether u got comparatively more mcq's from those weak areas. now u have to make them ur strong points. u have worked so hard, u have to repeat itwith every subject. we cant take any chances. each of the 13 subdivisions of ur course must be equally good, as each of them is tested on the exam, u know it by now. stick to ur previous books and try to make short notes, or get First Aid prepared for the final days.it really helps. do the qbook and qbank again and read the explanations carefully. also do the nms qbook if u can.
dont be isolated, enjoy life at the same time, its just an exam, and people like us r meant to pass it, and u will get a good score.
feel free to ask anything. yes i m an img. i have a lot of indian friends. i hope i have got another. i m from pak.
take care.
