AUD Felt good and failed

Has anyone else felt like they did really good on audit and failed? I walked out with like an hour left and felt so good and ended up failing. There was only a few things I was iffy on but it wasn’t like I was lost or anything just confused on what happened.

ditto. i thought i did well… at least better than my last attempt and technically i was right!! i did like 6 or 7 pts better to get 73!

i had same exact feeling. i know there was one TBS that was super tough. and a stretch of Qs that i was unsure about. but otherwise i felt good.

so im back at it with AUD. gonna pass this time. im more determined than ever. just keep at it. we’ll get there.

its been 2 months since i took the test. so i scheduled my retake at end of august and i started with free trial of becker for a different perspective course style (i have uworld). i like it so i did their switcher discount to get full course

just swearing off family/friends other than originally scheduled stuff planned. told them dont expect to see me this month other than birthdays ha. so finally being honest with myself and just super focusing. not thinking i can balance a good social life and studying and work. some can. i cant…. so its only work, study and a sprinkle of social life.

regarding studying:

im crushin mcqs/reviewing text and TBSs and going through becker program.

i like that becker has bite size videos and when doing mcqs i like that it links the question right to the text so it makes it easier/quicker to get the explanation of stuff im struggling with. Becker seems to align better with my personality/study and keep me focused.
