Hi my friends,

I just realized that ECFMG already had my medical education credentials, do I still need to send it to ERAS? ECFMG does not transfer it to ERAS?

Thanks for help.

durham, you have to send it to ERAS a copy no matter if you already have one in ECFMG. You can also request ECFMG to directly transfer it to ERAS. You can do so by calling ECFMG and ask them how to do it.

appreciate your help, sharp!

It is really frustrated, some program's deadline is Nov 1 and I do not know if I can get everything before that. I will try my best.

Best wishes to your match.

@sharp REConfusedtep 3

What you are doing is pretty much what I did. I studied for S3 on my train to work. No more than 2-3h a day. I did the Kaplan and UW qBanks. UW CCS is great!

If you are aiming to pass is not hard at all. If you are aiming for a good score, I honestly think step 3 is the hardest one. But is doable. To study I used Swanson Family practice, which is ok but not perfect. I focused a lot on simulated cases because that's really the format of the exam throughout.

Good luck.

(and BTW I think you should just aim to pass now since the score won't affect your application)

Thanks a lot, algernon. Do you think Kaplan qbank is better than UW? I saw a lot of arguments on this issue and don't want to waste time. I don't have the Swanson book, but I have a Kaplan Book, something about "Master the Board" by C.Fisher. Do you think if I can just go ahead to use this one instead of Swanson? As for CCS, I will follow your suggestions and focus on UW. I only aim at >80 for step3, so hopefully I can make it.
