Hey CS very soon.........I watch your posts very closely.....you are a figher , an inspiration for us all in a way......keep up the fight man! all the best with the application, lifes full of surprises
can you please advise how difficlut it is goin to be to take step 3 sometime in december .....I am bout to start a prelim PGY 1 off cycle in chicago from Nov 10 2008...I hope to take step 3 smtime in december and not later as my period after one time extension expires on Jan 13 2009.....and also the absite , My PC tells me is on Jan 30 next year......do you think it is possible or feasible to take the step 3 while in your PGY1 intern in surgery....

hey 9811
i presume you wont have much time for step 3 while on ur prelim
so i would suggest you to either take it early or postpone it - cos ur anyhow on a J1 already and you dont need rush with it now




9811734044 - ArchivalUser - 11-03-2008

ya rightdoc i see your point but i have alredy postponed it once and if i defuallt it now, 700 bucks will go down the drain

9.....

its gonna be toughto take step 3 when you are a prelim. but the most important thing is the rotation. if you are in a relaxed rotation you can as well study but not otherwise. and it also is sensible to take step 3 around absite so that you dont have to prepare twice
