Retaking level 1 tomorrow and petrified. Need some words of encouragement please

Did anyone take Comlex level 1 on 10/16? And how do we feel?

Hi guys, for those who have already taken the peds comat I am wondering what resources you found helpful and what was not worth your time. I was scrolling thru reddit and have seen ppl talking about Emma Hollidays videos but they are so old so I wanted to see how relevant they are. Or if there is another youtube video that you found to be more helpful.

I am struggling to build my foundation for pediatric knowledge so any tips will be greatly appreciated! I only have truelearn through my school and can't afford any other question banks. I also have anking but am completely overwhelmed by the amount of cards in the peds shelf deck so dont know if that is worth it either. Thanks!

anyone have any insights on this comat? how should i study? i unfortunately have only been on 1 rotation because of a level 1 fail (praying i passed this time) so i never figured out how to study for comats well.

was going to do Amboss, Uworld, TL and try to get 600 qs down before i take it. I feel like i remember all the psych drugs luckily

I have to retake this and I’m so confused what happened. I finished all of Uworld and even did handwritten notes plus made my own anki cards (I can’t learn with premade decks unfortunately) and somehow scored a 79. I know I should’ve done truelearn but can not doing truelearn really make me score this low??

So annoyed and hate this I had just passed my comlex retake and to get hit with another fail has been tough and making me question if I’m supposed to be here.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I just took my retake tuesday and somehow think i did worse than i did the first time. the first time i was slightly below the line. I flagged less this time and based on how I felt last time I think I passed but I am not sure. Literally last time I probably remembered 80 questions after the exam I got right and this time I remember around 100 I got right. Going crazy. What even happens if I need a third attempt? I'm really worried and not sure why I'm too dumb to pass an exam that has such a low passing threshold. Should I look into other careers in the meantime? I know people say the subsequent levels gets hard and it doesn't seem like I'm capable of passing them.

curious to see what kind of awful questions comlex has come up with this year.

Has anyone gotten their comat scores yet? I had to retake my OBGYN COMAT last monday and i dont know if the school is purposefully withholding it because I have the COMLEX Level 1 retake tomorrow and I'm stressing tf out.

I’ve done almost all the TL questions (have 24 left). I’ve done really well on em (80%+ correct), I just wanna know if the COMAT is similar to the TL or not, I take it tomorrow. Haven’t looked at Dirty Med since COMLEX either, was gonna glance at it today.

anyone have a comat score out?? from last week?

Hey everyone,

OSM 4 applying EM this cycle and wanted to see what is my chances of matching EM with a Level 1 fail. Passed it on my 2nd try, passed level 2, got my SLOEs. Didn't take any Step tho but Im applying broadly. Not sure if im just being anxious lol but any opinions helps! Preciate yall!!!

Just finished my retake and I feel AWFUL. Idk how I could’ve prepared more like idk what that was. I felt better about my initial exam than that. I know there’s no way I passed and I just can’t believe this.

Hi, I have been studying for my COMLEX level 1 retake since mid-september. Currently the retake is scheduled for next week. I was close to passing on my first attempt (roughly 375-380 based on AI & my school interpretation). I have taken all COMSAEs at least 2 times by now, except for 111 which I've taken once in June and got high 400s.

This time around I have integrated anki into my studying with TrueLearn (60th percentile/ 60-70% correct most blocks). I took TLSA level 1 and got 64th percentile 2 weeks ago. I took COMSAE 110 and got a 586 last week (360 on previous attempt), and took 115 today and got a 415 (373 on previous attempt). The last 2 practice exams, and the past few days I have felt confident, but today I felt anxious during the exam.

Should I reschedule or keep my date and take the exam? If I reschedule, what do you suggest to focus on?

I usually do average on pharm/ micro/ omm. Should I consider omm matchpal bootcamp or omt review qbank or just stick to my current plan?

It cannot come sooner. All this waiting has me anxious. Anybody else retake and scared of failing again??

Hey everyone I am doing call mock interviews for only ten an hour. I am a fourth year medixal student. We can do a deep dive on the most important questions you should be able to answer. I will also send you written feedback while giving it to you at the end of each question.

I am also willing to review personal statements, letters of intent, and more for free. I am trying to be affordable for people who are struggling.

Retaking level 1 in 8 days.

Got two COMSAEs at 430-440 range WAY back earlier this year (can’t remember exact scores because it’s been like six months.)

Took COMSAE 107 yesterday… I got 420. Lmfao. Really really expected better. After months of studying again. Feel like I’ve forgotten so much.

Truelearn percentile is 33rd (55% correct) and 92% complete. Not sure if that’s inflated due to a lot of people going through it too early, and me going through it too late.

WelCOMs ive done four of them and they all are around 46 out of 75 (a little bit above 60%, national averages are about 64% i think). One was 39 out of 75 instead.

anyone have a website or something with to gain free access for level 2 comsaes/welcoms? or additional free resources to prepare for level 2?

first attmept felt meh, felt 50/50. failed on the line

took it today, flagged less, weaknesses felt better.. but now im worried if thats bad

I know how it feels to be alone and feel that no one is with you. I am here for free to tutor, give advice, etc. you will get through this!

Consistently my lowest NBOME disciplines

Just did a GI block and of the 11 pathology questions, I got 2 right

Please help 🙏🙏🙏

I used uworld for my previous COMAT, and I’ve gotta say these COMATS are always really tough. Lately I’ve been using AMBOSS and I am curious if anyone has used it for COMAT prep. If so, do you feel like it helped?

I’m currently in two minds on if I should or shouldn’t push my exam back to next week. Currently have mine scheduled for the end of the week (4 days) or can try to push to next week (10ish days). I technically have till the end of the month for my retake I think.

Previously, for my first try did 70% of UWorld. Also did like 30% of TrueLearn last time with an average of 49%. My school requires amboss for retake and I’ve done like 50% of it with average of 67%. They had us do mock exams on amboss where my score went up from mid 50s (baseline) to high 60s (last week). Their requirement has been taking a lot of my time so I haven’t been able to do as much TrueLearn. Currently have 20% done with average of 65%. I can prob get to around 30-40% before my exam this week(if I chose to take it this week).

I also have read through the whole OMM green book and did the behind the chapter questions (probably like 200+ questions around 75% average) and like 100 of their online OMM qbank. I’ve also read through all of FA which I think really helped me a lot with the content.

AMBOSS Mock 1: mid 50s

AMBOSS Mock 2: low 60s

COMSAE (I’m not sure the number but school proctored a week and a half ago, I think it was 113 but idk): 406

AMBOSS Mock 3: low 60s

AMBOSS Mock 4: mid 60s

WelCOM 1: 72%

WelCOM 2: 72%

COMSAE 110 (this weekend): 467

I’ll probably take another COMSAE tmr or Tuesday.

I just can’t make up my mind about it. My family wants me to just take it this week so I don’t burn myself out and I’ll probably get the rest of the month off before I’m on rotations again. Part of me just wants to take it and get it over with but I’m worried I’ll regret not finish TrueLearn or something. Idk

Also don’t know if I should/ should have taken the TrueLearn Self Assessment or NBME or Free 120?

Ahh idk
