Feel like garbage after taking step 1

Hi everyone, this is gonna be a negative post so I would recommend to skip it if u didn't take the exam yet.

I went into the exam feeling relatively confident as I got 81% in free 120 and 80% in NBME31 just 5 days before the exam.

I was expecting long qustions and a hard exam due to reading posts here about the real deal, but nothing prepared me for the sh*t show that happened. Block 1, 2, 4 and 7 were undoable, or at least that's how I felt. Exam was nothing like the nbmes or the free120, it was more like uwsa2. Looooong, detailed questions with abscure answers. I literally flagged 25+ questions per block.

I don't wanna bring on negativity here but if u're reading this and didn't take the exam yet maybe this will serve you to study even harder. I really don't know what to say but I genuinely feel like I failed, I mean we all having this feeling when doing self assessements but this one is sthg else. It literally felt like I was guessing 60% of the answers.

​

Sorry again for the negative post, I just wanted to share how I feel, hopefully it'll become better the next few days.
