Hi guys,
I'm new here. So first of all good luck to everyone who is working hard to beat this beast!
)
I'm in my 3rd year Psych residency. I'm an old IMG (2007!). Passed Step 1&2 in 2010 w/ average scores (200s; guess I'm a bad 'test-taker' despite studying hard). Failed Step 3 in Oct 2014. The 2nd attempt of My Step-3 date is scheduled for May 30th/June 1st. Scored 194 on UWSA 2 days ago. I'm concerned if I should go ahead or should I read more (although I'm already tired. And not sure HOW much studying/revising more would help!!). Currently studied for 4 (w/residency!). Did UWorld once (Avg 62%), revised my UW notes, studied Premier Reviewx2, did CCS 52 UW cases. (If I have to..) I can extend it only until 27th June (which is the last day of my next 2 week vacation, which starts after 9 days of work!). Or should I give another assessment (NBME?) in a day or two to reassess? Also, are there any other assessments besides NBME form 3/UWSA?
Thank you SO much for your suggestions.
