Hello everybody,

Trying really hard to keep my head up but just tried the PVT and got the bad pop up. I did UWORLD, finished all 2000+ Qs and scored 58% on Assessment 1 and 54% on Assessment 2. Definitely went into the exam more prepared and more confident than the first time. The first time I stopped at 190 Qs but midway through the test I was already tired and my head was pounding.This time, I got 2 calculation Qs and about 8-10 SATAs. Some priority and teaching but some questions were way too easy (e.g. incontinent questions). Once the exam stopped at 75, i had mixed feelings. Relieved it was done but concerned cause i got 2 calculations and because the some questions were too easy. Now, got the bad pop up. Anyone ever get the bad pop up but pass?

Thank you everybody

Hi! I haven't heard anything about the bad pop up, I really wish I could help you. I will cross my fingers and pray that the "bad pop up" is only a myth. Good Luck and keep your head up

I know it's probably what you want to hear but the same thing happened to me last time I wrote and I swear I scoured the internet for forums with others saying they got the bad pop up and passed. I kept my hopes up but it turns out I didn't pass.

Did you do the question bank and focus on the rationales? The percentages on the one time assessments don't mean as much as the percentages for the entire question bank- at least that's what the rep from Uworld told me.

Yeah i did. Everything made more sense to me as I went through the whole question bank and more than half of the incorrect ones. I was more confident this time and felt like I was really gonna pass :/

how are you studying the rationales? or the content you missed?

i try to understand it and write it down if i can't. then try to understand it again
