DG i have step-3 in few days..please let me know your thoughts on difficulty level of questions if to compare UW questions with the actual exam
good happy_doctor...

just sent an email with my experience to a friend.. give me your email and I'll send it to you as well.

this email it's not that good, because I don't remember the questions anymore, but, well, it's better than nothing.

Practice well with the software for the CCS cases, though I think the multiple choice quesitons are the hardest part of the exam...

They are more complex and more difficult than step 2.. but, remember, I didn't prepare myself good to step 3, so maybe for those who studied more, it may not be that difficult...

Good luck
okay you can send me mail at happy_doctor76

Will be great...but what about comparing difficulty level if you compare it to USM world questions
DG, congratulations for passing step 3.
Happy_doc:
for step 3 CCS, UW cases are not sufficient in terms of #of cases, I got 2 cases not from UW, but UW CCS cases are sufficiet in terms of strategies for solving common cases, even cases not seen in UW, hope you got me.
For MCQs, real questions are way more vague, but more similar to UW in terms of length and style, be alert on 2nd day too, don't believe that 2nd day is "much better"
