I have concerns about someone who caves under pressure taking a knife to a person’s brain one day. Pressure extends into the operating room. I am picturing malpractice and wrongful death lawsuits. Do you really just not know the material you are being tested on and would rather say you have test anxiety than difficulty mastering material? If you really are anxious under pressure and cannot resolve that, then consider pursuing some other neurological career rather than dreaming of being a surgeon. A surgeon must be cool-headed and confident in the face of pressure.
