My strategy:
- CSS until I go crazy )
- some qbank from OBGYN, which is my weakest
- My plan for Sunday is to spend it entirely with my little daughter, no readings at all...
This is my third attempt. I don't think AT ALL that I'm prepared. I don't have any other option for the moment, though.

Oh, almost forgot.
4 days ago, I started working on Archer CCS online thing. It is very good for some hints, and organization of the approach to CCS. If you think you have still time, you could try it. I use it at times as "Archer CCS radio"....I mean while I'm reading something else, or courtesy to my ADHD, checking my FB page, this one every other 5 minutes...

Anyway,
Good luck everybody.
There's always tomorrow, right ?

@vesodoc I'm a bit surprised that this is your third attempt on this exam. Could you explain what went wrong the previous times you took the exam?

[ArchivalUser]

Well, I haven't started working in US the previous two attempts - 2010 and 2011. I'm an IMG. I showed on the previous ones when I was able regarding the circumstances, not when I was sure I was ready, because it was out of my hand at that time, or so I thought ( family issues, money, etc). Problem is, I don't feel I'm ready now either. But I kinda couldn't arrange more than this amount of time I already had. So, a leap of faith it would be again...I already plan on how to arrange for the fourth...I know, wrong strategy, but I seriously hate exams in general...

Have you guys done the UWSA yet? How did that goe?? Usually looks like a good predictor of your score on the real exam.

I also do not feel absolutely ready but I've only been at it for about 4 weeks

I will let UWSA decide whether I attempt the exam or not...I would like to complete the exam and not have to extend it but...I also do not want to fail it in the same breath.

I felt I had so little time, so I just did the 1 st block of UWSA, got 52 % out of avg 56 %. That was 1 week ago. do you think I should go ahead and do the rest of them?
