UWSA2 ( 262 ) finally the score i have been waiting for 260+ (8 days out )

Real deal 225 so why this drop?

THIS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IN MY EXPERIENCE
5 days out from my exam,corona virus said hello to me.
With the stress of exam and the symptoms ( SEVERE HEADACHE )+ fever + malaise + anorexia+ breathing issues >> 7 kg weight loss in 6 days,after all of this I didn’t decide to postpone my exam , all I could think of at that moment was to be done with step 1 whatever the consequences ,I expected score drop to be like 240 or 235 but never expected to be in 225 range( pass and fail from the next year was the something that made me never think about postponing+ final exams in my college in 28/6 ).

Exam day:

  • I woke up at 4 Am. ( feverish )
  • I couldn’t sleep till the exam
  • In exam the first 3 blocks i tried as much as i can to overcome my headache and difficulty in breathing.
But after the third block I couldn’t resist any more so it highly affect my performance
I wrote my experience to help anyone fall in my situation , to know the nearly expected consequences and help him to decide whether or not to postpone.
