Not sure where I should start my studies for Level 2 dedicated, but here are my thoughts and scores on my COMATS this year. Each exam I had 4 weeks to study for.

• OB/GYN - 107 Had this one first, maybe could have honored if I got my studying squared away. No PQ, just what I learned in clinic and first/second year notes to study. Didn't have a system down yet.
• FM - 94 Not high enough to pass, spent a bit too much time on vaccines, need to review msk more and do more PQ. Also had a rather exciting clinical experience, saw a lot of pathology that I wouldn't expect. Didn't use PQ's for this one either.
• OPP - 103 Just did truelearn alone as a change up from other resources. Also was very distracted during this rotation and probably only spent 2 full weekends studying with passive anki during clinic.
• Peds - 88 A pretty bad fail. Had a bad clinic experience, preceptor was pretty unhinged, was not an appropriate use of my time. Tried Uworld, was scoring 55% at the time.
• FM retake - 103 Did a lot more Uworld, COMQUEST also had a great ICU clinic experience at this time. One of the few times stuff learned on rotation showed up on my COMAT... Also 1 week after this my school lowered passing to a 90...
• Surg - 113 Honestly finished Uworld, COMQUEST, and started Amboss had a resident who went out of his way to teach us. Whiteboard and all. Very long hours, came in on weekends as well, and in the end was burnt out going into my next rotation.
• Peds Retake - 89 on me, had a few personal issues come up during this time. Also had a preceptor who wouldn't let me study for peds during clinic downtime. Insisted I do IM questions around him. Was also a bit embarrassed to be retaking peds, so I didn't tell him about that part.
• IM - 112 Uworld, COMQUEST. I had 2 peds like questions on this and I know I missed both. Didn't think they would test on undiagnosed congenital immune syndromes.
• Psyc - 108 Uworld, COMQUEST. I honestly felt like I scored a 85 after taking this exam, it felt as if a psychologist and a psychiatrist split the work and wrote the exam. I guess most people on this form struggled as well?
• Peds Retake Retake - pending... bright side I can retake it, but its my final attempt.

Overall, extremely burnt out doing back to back COMATS with no break. I have had non-med people comment on my appearance as "tired", "angry", or "depressed". I think its just the normal medstudent look. Anyways, couch surfing rn to save some money and in anticipation of being a poor OMS-4 nomad for the next 7 months. In-house practice level 2 exam showed me scoring a 666... I felt like I had seen the exam before for some reason. Anyways, I should at-least fix peds which appears to be my primary weakness for now. Any suggestions/questions are appreciated.
