Hi everybody,
gave my exam yesterday in Atlanta....puuuuhhhhhh....I don't think I did too good, I was extremely nervous....didn't get enough sleep the night before...alltogether a traumatic experience for me!
I think my major fault was not having practiced much..we'll see!
it"s OVER..that's important.
Couple IMG's there yesterday...and a lot of US students!!!!
The staff and the test center are excellent....two breaks throughout the whole day.
The proctors always trying to make little jokes and bring us in a good mood "Guys we wanna have fun today"...(well, I didn't feel like having fun")...it's exactly as in the CD we'll get from USMLE when we apply for the step...and after a while you get into this little routine....
The cases....I'm not allowed to talk about!
Used UW and FA for prep....in my opinion each one of those alone is definitely sufficient! They both cover the content of the exam!
Although I was a little down after the exam yesterday...I had reason to celebrate b/c I found out that I have passed step 2CK (did the OASIS trick)...
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 
For all you guys preparing for CS...stay cool, practice a lot and if you decide going for Atlanta...I can definitely recommend it!

Hi git_it_dun,
nice name ...I don't remember exactly...but I think it takes ECFMG about 4-8 weeks to process your application!
Then they'll send you a confirmation email (instead of the usual orange letter)...once you have this email, you can schedule online your CS test date...
that's it!
Good luck,
sabine

coolbabe,
you might be right...I did the online application!
But I really don't remember how long it took them to process! Wait....
Just looked into the bankaccount...the 1200 bucks were booked November 29th...and my confirmation email came on January 22nd!
They are not the fastest.......
