Hey everyone! I know everyone keeps on saying to just take uworld as learning tool. I wanna keep it such but still the scores give you either confidence or opposite in case they aren’t good. I have done around 50% with average just 64%. I did hit a depression/anxiety spell in between that kind of impacted my overall capacity where i was doing blocks to keep myself going but wasn’t taking anything from the blocks. Still whatever the reasons,my scores arent that great. How have you guys been dealing with low scores? All i see on reddit and other platforms is people had 70% above even during their first passes.

Hello everyone! I’m step 1 pass currently preparing for step 2.YOG:2024,wanna sit in next year’s match cycle. I plan to take step 2 in Jan 2027. And then later go for my USCEs april onwards(visa requiring). Since there’s alot of rejection lately on just observer ships basis, i wanted to strengthen my application by getting a visa appointment atleast after step 2 so that i can show i am ready to take step 3. Or even if i get rejected on just ovservership basis, i can apply emergency visa on step 3 basis. Thing is i got know that for step 3 u need to have your ecfmg certification and for that u need to apply for pathways. I do hold a permanent pmdc license and good standing certificate which makes me eligible for pathway 1. The deadline for the pathways application is Jan 31,2027. If i take step 2 tentatively in Jan,i am keeping it flexible as it is score based so i cant rush it and if my scores seem to be stuck then i cant take it in jan too. So my oet gets delayed and i cant apply pathway before 31 jan so the whole backup plan for keeping step 3 goes down too. What do you guys recommend?
Shall i go for oet in btw my step 2 prep phase? Has anyone done like this? Applied pathways before taking step 2?
Please give suggestions!

Asking for a close friend,Hello everyone! Can anyone please share insights is it possible to get J2 approved if the nikkah was conducted online rather than in person? Fiancé working as an MD in usa. Engaged for quite some time infact through a formal ceremony. Is it enough evidence to have J2 approved?
