Sound advice is never well taken! Its always easier to console and say its ok, it happens to everybody. Sure it does, but WHY? Why are there so many people reading the same books as the people who fail it so many times, and the former set of students get 90 plus!! Blaming it on memory and then saying "yeah I dont have a good memory so I dont pass" is the easiest way out. You can then shift the blame from yourself and put it on mother nature not giving you enough memory.
Or you can decide to change.....and understand that GRE, GMAT, Toeffl, any US based exam only tests your sound application of knowledge and NOT Memory. You have to read it several times and understand the matter and apply it. Ofcourse being cool on the day of the exam matters the most, which is difficult for anybody,but sure we can try to be less nervous, which is good enough.
USMLE taker and einstein heart are honestly giving the wrong advice. Take this advice from a person who has scored well!
