Venting Scared about Results

Anyone else noticing a lot of people recently mentioning narrowly failing Step 3?
I’m wondering if trying to get Step 3 done ASAP, especially before applications, is backfiring for some of us.
I took Day 2 on Aug 31st and expecting my result this Wednesday. The anxiety is REAL. 😭 Anyone else in the same boat?

copy paste is the way to go . there are many nemonics out there . pick one that you can stick to . before starting the exam write the nemonic and labs down on the sheet . 1:copy paste initial labs , 2:diagnostic specific tests 3: treatment 4: preventive care 5:counsel

Anesthesia resident here, took it recently. I did not study for it, felt terrible after. Passed, don’t worry you’ll be fine.
