I passed the step 3, score was reported yesterday, I called one PC who gave me the news.
I got just 76 when in step 1 and 2 got 88 and 87 but I am happier than ever with this score.
I just want to give only one advice if you really want to be sure to pass and with a good score DON'T RELAY ONLY ON KAPLAN, I studied only Kaplan (as I did for step1 and 2) for a long time, did q Bank , Q book several times and was getting 80% correct on them. So my advice is to explore other study sources as well.
Eventhough I studied harder for this exam than I did for step 1 and 2 this exam was tougher.
In the real exam I messed up 4 ccs cases but did good the remaining five, about the questions I have no idea since never saw those kind of question before but I used Kaplan knowledge to answer them.
It had been two years that I am looking forward to say these: NO MORE USMLE.........!!!!!!!!!
From the bottom of my heart I wish good luck to everybody.
