Failed COMLEX Twice With The WORST Testing Anxiety I've Seen

If you’ve ever felt paralyzed before a practice exam, frozen during a test block, or terrified you’ll fail COMLEX again, this story is going to hit home.

Priyanka failed COMLEX Level 2 twice.

Her school let her graduate without a passing score AND she matched into a family medicine residency… but she wasn’t allowed to start residency until she passed. That alone is unheard of, but not why we're discussing her story.

She had the worst testing anxiety I've ever seen.

She was on her final attempt.

And her COMLEX was stuck at 389.

So we worked together for four months using exposure therapy, a structured study plan, spaced recall, daily question work, and a system built specifically for anxious DO test-takers.

Her score went from 389 → 458, and she is now a practicing DO resident.

In this interview, we break down:

✔️ What severe test anxiety feels like

✔️ Why practice tests triggered panic

✔️ How exposure therapy helped her stay calm

✔️ The exact study plan she used

✔️ How she balanced studying with graduation

✔️ What changed inside her brain so she could finally pass

✔️ What she wishes DO students walking in her shoes knew earlier

If you’re a COMLEX retaker, on your final attempt, or your anxiety is wrecking your scores, you’re not alone, and Priyanka’s story will show you exactly what’s possible.
