Hi all,
I passed with score of 91. I studied for about a month. Did First Aid, Usmleconsult.com MCQs and CCS, and downloaded a bunch of free stuff from UW, Premier and Kaplan from a variety of places.
I wrote down summaries for about 150 of the MCQs and the CCS cases, in case I had to retake it. Since I passed, I don't need it. Leave your email if you would like it or any of the other free stuff, nothing beats free.
Advice - Narrow down your study to a few good materials, it doesn't matter which one, and study them well. Practice a lot of CCS cases, I liked interactive cases, like the ones on usmleconsult, and practice a lot on the real software program. Get good sleep the night before and most important make sure you answer every question.
Good luck to all.
