Experience—as I posted before, right after exam: I just took the exam, it was a very hard exam. Day 1 MCQ was very hard, 2 drug ads question sets I had to guess, because lack of time.
Day 2 MCQ so much better. CCS cases-11/13 cases went well.
Result trick works, my status changed to expired this past saturday and I had no link for reapply
Prep time-4 months
Sources: UW qbank, UW CCS, UW biostats
Archer lectures and CCS
MTB
UW qbank 70%
UWSA 199
Real 199
Bye Bye USMLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice job dude. Im wondering 70 percent uworld q bank and 11 of 13 cases you thought went well, wouldn't the actual score be like 230 or 240? Anyway the uwsa was the more accurate for you. Good job again bro
Thanks
exam mcq much harder compared to uw mcq, plus i felt I had to rush through answering some questions to finish all questions in time, so some answers picked in haste
day 2 mcq felt much better in comparison to day 1, because no biostat, but like what so many other people have said, i felt stuck in between 2 choices, so of the questions I wondered where did they come from--nothing from what I studied.
ccs--only 3 cases like UW, but not exactly like it. Rest of ccs were not from UW, pt.'s improved, but who knows what I missed in between things that I may have needed to order or monitoring stuff I needed to order who knows and who cares at this point
Just glad I am done
Yup that makes sense how can anyone remember everything like mistakes, stuff guessed correctly, stuff you dont think you did well on but actually probably did and vice versa, etc, hard to avoid thinking about it when waiting for score and worth stressing out over, especially now for u.
Congrats!
I would realy appreciate it if you could tell where did your performance bar for ccs was on your report and did it reflect what you felt after the exam(bad or good)? In other words was there a place for improvement that could have affected your score to be better? Thank you in advance and injoy your victory and holidays.
Yeah not to be annoying in this moment of glory in time, but 11 of 13 ccs cases that went well is freaking awesome...on the forums it seems there can be 2 to 4 challenging cases on the average, for people that actually put in serious time to prepare for this ccs thing. Way 2 go!
@salehny1--Thanks
@ salehny1 and snaggletooth77---ccs i did bad, x's from lower performance stretched to 3 X's on higher performance. I have no idea if I screwed up on sequencing part, because 11 of the pt.'s said they were feeling better.
MCQ saved me.
or maybe I was too aggressive in my ordering for ccs
Thanks boss ,F- it whatever w ccs BS now. I think there now mite b "easy" ccs cases that are clinical diagnosis stuff, so test taker may be freaking out w ordering tests not knowing what to do but just using intuition just treat based on what the dase description is andadvance and dase end... im not sure i just guessing. F it all now, thanx 4 helping us here, relax and enjoy holiday now with a rest and break, u, got dat result, all dat mattas.
Dont know why but dase up there should be case. Ha ha crappy samsung tablet.cheers
