Hello everyone:
I followed this forum for 7 years since I started taking Step1. My first attempt step 1 score is 168, second attempt 181, and finally passed at third attempt of 231. I was so excited about my last score and thought it should be fine for family medicine residency Match. However, I applied for 150+ FM program this year and get ZERO interview. My words for the step 1 test takers are : Pass step 1 at high score at first attempt! If you are not ready for it, reschedule the test, take NBME before the exam and see how well you can pass the test. Hope my story helps!
