  to be honest there is no true exact course, yes there are sources which are good for basic knowledge, biulding the base and techniqes are the key both for attempting the MCQs and for attmpting the CCS

  time lapse b/w step 2 and 3, having any US clinical exp or not determines how extensive ur studies should be and which sources u should involve there is no one best book, u have to streamline ur studies according to ur individual circumstances and ur own level of knowledge.

Kajol and selftest don't lose hope you will pass next time. Make a schedule. Study on your own with a study partner maybe, use FA and UW. In UW read the answers and understand them.Also read the description of the wrong answers so you know exactly where you went wrong. Also after every test analyze your weak points and revise before you do the next test. This will improve your concepts and you will pass next time. Good luck!!!

  i think the best course is self study...

i did PR a few times and i failed twice..so i dont think it is good enough to pass, but it is good to know the material they present.

i took kaplan course but i haven't taken the test yet to see if it helped...but i also used many other self study materials such as uw, kaplan qbank, white coat pocket guide, crush, mtb, kaplan step 3 notes. we'll see if i pass this time around in october...

good luck!

  best source is UW step3.but not alone-supplement it with UW step2 or kaplan notes step2.

  Self studies is the best to my opinion. I found UW step 3 very helpful but you have to study it in and out. If you are not into residency, supplement UW CCs with shahers or anyother. Just master the basic very well to handle any case in CCS because some of the cases are atypical. Remember to use Kaplan notes, MTB and some notes from this forum. Again, if you have time, google derm. pictures and treatment. Goodluck
