did you started to study? 1 month is barely enough for exam i think.. you need to study so hard, practice so much. 8-10 hr is okay..

of course FA and UW is enough.
you know the exam has 3 component
1)SEP : is your english is okay, don't worry about it, but speak slowly and clearly, don't rush patients. use simple questions.
2)ICS: data gathering; you should ask focused questions and be careful about ROS part. don't miss even one question, memorize them. for the patient note i think FA is good, also study how to write positive findings like weakness, tenderness, hearing loss etc.
3)for counseling follow UW style, i think it is good. make a good eye contact, drape correctly, ask if sp has anything to ask, show empathy etc. do closure for every case
and practice practice practice! you should practice in timed manner and be very professional. in the exam due to running time and anxiety your performance will be lower than normal so be perfect! practising is the key.. do 8-10 cases for every day preferably with a live partner..
