believe me , right now i dont feel that great about it. i will deffinitely feel good if i am able to get into an ophthalm res. though. i have very good recommendations and background. but no USCE or any LOR from US.
right now i just want to get a very good score in step-2 so that i can at least apply to some programs. rest is luck.
thanks for your suggestion , i will start my second reading along with UW questions. how many qs are in one block?

[ArchivalUser]

lo

u can actually pick and choose how many qs u do.
but a max of 46; being the number per block in the exam.
and i guess most people would recommend that.
i really hope u get the residency of ur dreams.
but if u already r an ophthalmologist,shldnt u be doing a fellowship??
