I received my step 1 score of 219 this week. Very very depressed. I was aiming for 230+. The exam has certainly turned more difficult than what it was a year ago. I'm very much worried. Can i overcome this low score if i do well in step 2 ck and pass cs in first attempt? i will apply for 2018 match. I plan to apply in Pediatrics and psych. I graduated this year and i have 2 months of USCE and 2 publications. I plan to give step 3 too as I have time in my hand. What can i do more? Please provide your valuable suggestions. I need a lot of motivation now.

Thanks for the word jackii. And dont worry, we all do silly mistakes! Be happy that you're done with a major step! Jus sit back, relax and celebrate! You deserve this! Good luck for your scores.
