I just wanted to thank everyone in this blog for the help and encouraging words!!
My experience was as follows:
First day was Ok, but the questions were very long and tedius to read, most of them were related to derm and geriatrics, but the questions are very similar to the ones in USMLW and Kaplan.
I finished in the aloted time and had one or two minutes to try to review the questions that I have marked.
My second day...was hard, maybe because I was tired and stressed out, but questions were more or less as the first day, sme of them were just a simple recall.
From the 9 ccs, USMLW is great!, just follow their
advice and you'll do find.
Be aware that there are some cases not covered in usmlw, and that you'll have to make the best out of it.
Review as much as you can about abuse (any type of) and of course your normal management for DM, DKA, HONK etc.
Now I have to sit tight and wait for my results.
I got yesterday a Survey for the USMLE step 3....I am not suprstitious but is this Bad or good?
Also, I heard that there is a way to find out if you passed or not before the scores arrive, it this true??
Well my dear friends, I hope you had great Holidays and wish you the best in your endeavors.
