The time has finally come!! I took USMLE Step 2 and COMLEX Level 2. This video documents pre-exam day, exam day, and post-exam day. The feels, the confidence, the confusion, the feelings of defeat, reflections. Thank you all for the love and support during this grueling time. I love you all so much.

Heyyy Rachel. What's your strategy on coping up with stress? Esp during MLEs? We have a different exam system here in India but the stress is the same right haha

We can only give anything our best effort, success is not guaranteed but we’re closer to it when we give something our all. I can’t wait to watch this and I’m sure you did great! ❤️

It relieves me SO much, that there will be a provider like you in this world. It restores my faith in medicine. You are a strong woman and knowing that the faith of other women will be in your hands, gives me hope. I am so incredibly proud of you! You did it!!!

Hi Rachel, it will be fine. You have put so much work into studying. Going through medical school in Europe, I would always ask myself after an exam whether I could have done more to prepare for the exam. Most of the time that was not the case. This would make me feel better. I am confident you did well as you were so well prepared!

You did your absolute best, and that is All you can do. Super self critical thinker here too so I know that feeling as well. Anxious to see your upcoming videos! OBGYN!

Hey Rachel! I'm so incredibly proud of you! So grateful for you and your videos. It's truly an honor to be a part of the red any community and to get to support you. A life update from me it's been a hard week. On Tuesday my dog Tux who has epilepsy had a seizure that lasted five our at 2 am. My Mom, sister and I could only take him to the vet when it opened at around 8 am. We got there he was still seizing and has a fever of 107 degrees. We made the very difficult decision to put him down. It's so hard. ❤🐜 It's was so nice to talk with everyone during today's premiere made me feel better.

Fellow Red Ant here and I’ve been watching and been following along your journey since your first year. You’re the most determined, strong-willed, and spirited person I know in KZfaq just by your 15min-20min videos is enough to get not only myself but so many others online the fuel to get through their days. As I’m in the middle of this video, I can’t help but keep telling myself “she did amazing no matter what happened.” Although you might already know this and I am just in the middle of your video, a test score does not define us and who we are!! ❤️
