I failed mine initially, retook immediately, did the exact same thing as before and passed on my second attempt.
This test has a quota. There is no rhyme or reason for who passes and who fails. I am 100% positive I was failed because the NBOME has a strict policy to fail 6% of test takers and will fail you at random to make sure they meet that %.
Its ridiculous. They pretend it's a "licensing" exam, but 99.8% of people who retake it will pass on their second attempt. What? People dont have revolutionary personality changes over the course of 2 weeks. At best its an acting exam, and in reality it has no bearing on your ability to practice medicine as long as you have an extra 1400 dollars to give them.
I really dont know how they sleep at night. They stole 1400 dollars from me (.....twice) and the only thing that gets taken out of the process is that I got screened out of my top residency choices
You don't learn anything from the exam, the exam doesn't serve to keep unqualified students from practicing medicine, and if you are like me you get to move your family across the country because of it. Even if I am some total sociopath who spit in all of my patients faces during my first attempt, i will still be able to practice medicine in the end. Just after going to a ****tier residency program than the one I wanted to.
Thats the only thing that comes from failing the PE. Your residency choices are slimmer.
F the nbome.
Rant over.
