docruy, in real exam, u have to go to PE screen as misshyd said ...and click on interval hx to get some information about well being of the patient.
I think right now, u r thinking of all the negative things but dont , u did fine
i will give an example what happened to me in real case,,,,,,after ordering eveything and i knew the diagnosis, when i order procedure, the case ended with pending orders still in the que.....in real exam most of the time when u read pt history and ur P.e results u will know what u r looking for....and most of the time when u order radiology testing, most of the time they will tell u what is wrong with the patient....then all what u have to do just order the proper treatment......in my case, the case ended before viewing the rest of my orders and cased ended as soon as i ordered the procedure.....so dont be alarm about case ending.
In real exam is totally different than practicing using usmleworld or premium cd or listening to archer.....it is totally different bec u dont know when u meet the criteria or not and then case will end abruptly.
Going to exam and doing ccs, it is expected from everyone that u know how to treat for a given diagnosis....once u approach it properly and meet the computer target points, then the case will end.
the most important thing is ccs case is reading carefully the hx and ur physical exam results slowly and dont just do fast reading, sometimes little thing in hx will give u the dx.
if u mess up during the case , u can always correct in ur 5 mins screen , dont panic , it doesnt mean u feel the case, it means u didnt get full point for that specific case....u need to be calm so u can focus on the next one.
hope this will help u telling u about my experience....by the way, i had one star all the way to the end....on my result bar.
