I don’t know much about it, is it easier than the MCAT?

in the post above you mentioned people taking classes through canvas as well

once again agree on that

IMO exams need to be more standardized

I find it absolutely retarded you can take a class online and cheat your whole way through it, or take an easy professor that passes everyone etc.


ik people that BEYOND finessed the system doing this chit

also, getting an A with a hard professor does NOT hold the same weight as getting an A with an easy professor

Right now, everything is fuked because of covid. Anyone who graduates these years should have a * next to their name and be viewed with suspicion lol. It is just too easy to cheat online.

you need really good grades in college to get in, along with all the other stuff

unless you cheated your whole way through college or went to a joke school/major I don't see how you possibly could

your sister was probably one of the above and got filtered out, sorry bud

Tell her to focus and study hard, and get private tutoring.

Second, get a tutor asap who understands the materials and teach her in a way she understand.

Taking practice exams is a great way of finding out areas you are weak in so that you can strengthen those areas.

Yea it's surprising she got through 4 years and is struggling with this.

Apparently she has to get a 60% or higher on practice exams before qualifying for Step 1. So she's struggling with that and barely passing. Yesterday she called saying she was fine, today she called saying she doesn't like what she's doing, and wants to quit. She was crying.

I told her since day fuking one - take a shower in the mornings, meditate, exercise, eat healthy, reduce stress, sleep on time, etc, because that chit will reduce your brains' performance over time, but she didn't listen.

I told her to quit using social media, but she doesn't listen.

She's a low EQ libtard, don't know how she will get through this, but bottom line, these are her options as I see it:

Take the exam in a few weeks.

1) If she passes with good scores, great, keep going.
2) If she passes with chit scores.. guess she just finishes her MD and does something else, because people who get chit scores don't get jobs. Otherwise quit and do something else.
3) If she fails, then take a gap year and try again, but if she fails again, quit and so something else.

Only question is, if she takes a gap year does she have to pay another year of tuition before taking Step 1 again?


$125k of debt is a lot but manageable, but $175k (another year of tuition) makes it too expensive for her to even do another degree.
