I tried to ask for guidances about how to prepare for step 3 two months ago but getting booed by people here. Even though I didnt benefit a lot from this forum, I still wanna share my experience to u. Hopefully u wouldnt make the same mistakes as I did and get a much better score than I have.
I got my score report just now. Not a good score and I am very disappointed, but I am glad it's over finally. I would definitely suggest every one to give the exam ASAP bcz this exam is not like step1 or 2. Quite a few answers in the real exam cant be found on any textbooks or journals. It is a test of medical sense. So studying doesnt really make much difference. Clinical experience, by contrast, will play a major role on ur score.
I prepared for one month, making use of the night time(4 hrs a day) and the weekends bcz I m doing fellowship. My only source for MCQ is UW, but I regret doing so as the exam content has very few to do with UW. It's only the format similarity that counts. If u r a good test taker, u ll be fine.
As for CCS, my source is FA only. I didnt do UW for I thought there's too much micro-management inside. Maybe it's my fault not doing so. I finished all cases in 10 minutes nevertheless my CCS score is below average.
Some data for people to gauge a bit:
NBME: 560
USMLE CD: Around 71%
Took step2 in last Oct. |

Genesismd said he is doing his residency.
But do you believe? He stays all day at his computer to post.
He even did not know that passing CS is a must for step 3. |

Commissar mentioned in his initial post that he has applied for the match and the lack of interview calls was distracting.. |
