hi khalbali
congrats on yr success. u must be relieved now. i need lil advice from you. i have been prep for step 3 since dec mid. my xam is in jan end. am through 40% of UW scoring 50% rt now.
i might do only UW n take the xam. do u think its a good idea as i dont have time. is it doable in 5 week? my step 2 ck was in 2008.
thanks
thanks a lot drmyocyte!!i guess you should finish your uw & then give any self assesment exam as that will tell u your weak points so tht you can work hard on them .I am not saying that your score can be correlated but better to know about your weak points before the exam rather then knowing it later on your score sheet..if u have good scores in step 2 u can take a risk
bt without doing uw i will nt recommend going for the exam
I know how it feels to finally it over with.
Did exam Dec 7,8 and got result Jan 6.
No more USMLE thats the most imp.
It's a long and ridiculously tiring exam which tests ur endurance mainly.
Can not specifically recommend any review materials but the UW questions and Qbank definitely was helpful.
I heard from someone else who passed the exam the second attempt Kaplan Qbank was better. That person did UW first attempt.
But I just did UW anyway since its cheaper.
Good luck for all of u guys.
hi congrats...
what should we read for ccs...
FA or UW...or any online courses...please advice.
Sorry for the late reply!! i just read uw practised cases 4 times...if u master uw then u will be able to manage the cases in the exam ,thou cases are not same.
congrats khalbali
