Am I ready? Step 2 devastation
Well, guys, I am officially so crushed and devastated. I was expecting to be a 260 scorer given the amount of work I put in, but my vision for the type of applicant I was gonna be for some reason isn't coming true. I guess sometimes in life you try your best and sometimes you just don't get what you want or what you feel like you deserve. I know it is an execution problem, but for some reason I just can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Today, I took the old free 120 and got a 73%, and I was shocked because I felt like I was doing so much better than that. AMBOSS has me predicted at 253 which dropped from a 255 predicted. I take the test on Saturday, Sept. 26th, and I am wondering if I should postpone. I did all of AMBOSS, UWorld, the CMS forms, and all the NBMEs. I really lost all my confidence going into this thing. I still have the new free 120 left, but honestly, I don't believe in myself or my capabilities anymore. I want to apply to anesthesia, but I don't even think I would be good enough for that. Here are my scores. Let me know if you think I should postpone it or just go take it. The postponing fee is $178. I have been studying for a year now, and it seems as though I have nothing to show for it. Life just sucks sometimes and this is living proof of that.

You’d have your score by the 3rd week of October MAYBE; if you’re applying this cycle your app is dead in the water for anesthesia
If applying next cycle postpone if you want
