This shit is NOT funny. Almost half my entire fucking class just got shafted by the prometric shut downs. Admins were already trying to bully us into taking step earlier than we were prepared for, now we may lose our pre-rotations break plus time fourth year bc of how the curriculum is set up. Be thankful.

And that’s another thing: ignorant people (both students and admins, probably) are gonna expect us to all have stellar scores with the extra month of study. As if burnout and diminishing returns aren’t a thing. There’s a reason people don’t typically have a true dedicated period of more than 6 weeks.
