Hi guys my exam is on 4th of june, Ive just started to prepare, just the first days....pls tell me if this much time period would be enough, I have been told by my peers that this exam is relatively easier than all the steps, so took it lightly, but now im kinda panicky as i see people on the forum really taking it serious and preparing for long time...pls advise!!
thanks

Do not take it lightly.......
first is the most expensive test
second is the most tricky and subjective one

Get the right material
Practice, practice practice
write, write write patient notes
time your self
video your self
find a MEAN study partner that can tell you all your mistakes
learn how to play the game

I am blessed with the study partner that I have, they have being a great teachers to me, you will find people like that too

start reading the material
try to do the miicases, read the minicase and try to memorize the diferentials and the work up ( not need to do this if you have some clinical experience)

This excercise willhelp you in the real moment when you see the case in the door to picture what are the possibiities in diferential in the pt and try to make the right question in the frame time.
Keep posting for a group of study in you area., there will be something close toyou
