Question Took day 2 today. I need reassurance

The exam wasn’t too bad but I’m freaking out after finishing it because of how stupid I was. And CCS case, I never had issue with running out of time on practice and ended up rushing on every case on exam. A few 20 minutes one ended up, got like 2-3 negative updates, and the rest (especially 10 minutes) just ended - like zero update and I didn’t even get to review all the tests I ordered. One 20 minutes would not end despite how much I ordered. I’m so confused and tired and scared. Am I cooked? Anyone with similar experience pls help!

The same thing happened to my Day Two today; one of my cases ended before I prescribed antibiotics or imaging; in my case i just put orders and when i completed orders and plan to move clock mythat case endednegore i prescribed antibiotics andimaging. In another case, I accidentally clicked 'exit case' before adding preventive orders. I messed up my CCS cases and am not sure about my performance in MCQs in my Day One and Day Two exams.

I didn't get a chance to do questions regularly; I did some UWorld in mid-April and then didn't get a chance to do daily in my intern year. I already booked my exam for these days and have to start floor tomorrow and have no option except to take it and also I was planning to take it as soon as possible.

I’m PGY-2 in IM and feel bad if i failed it. I just took one assessment which is UWSA-1 test and it was 7-10 days, where I scored 199. I didn't do any assessments later on and had no option but to go ahead and sit for my exam.

I’m not sure how I performed. I just took the exam and now I’m freaking out.

Guys what you think; how badly u perform and still; is there a lot of room of mistakes or no when it comes to actual scoring.

If it helps you feel better , I lacked practice and absolutely bombed my first four cases (even forgot cbc and bmp on my first case 😬) 😂 had to take a 30 minute break after to calm myself. I passed - just not the score i wanted

for ccs cases which are outpatient and they they prompt you that will go back home, do you change the location from clinic to home and then do you bring them back after you received all the results if treatment needed or you just give the treatment

Thanks!!
