1) register asap

2) read 40 csa cases on this site, osce , first aid's challenging qs!!nod

3) look up this forum for people's exam experiences and save them into a single file on ur computer so that all paople who had passed this exam u learn their ideas/ trickssmiling face

4) practice 10-15 times with timing ur self. cross check ur qs and see if u forgot any qs.. try to feel the stress of real exam as u practice so that u get accustomed to the pricksgrin so u have to train ur spinal cord to operate for the exam day so that brain takes a break ...

5) exam day: go to center early 30 minutes . look at center from outside for around 10 min and take deep breaths to decreas anxiety.. walk slowly and when u go in tell ur self ur a doctor who has to be confident coz ur are smart and deserve to pass coz u had worked hard.. ur the best . if u can handle the final exms in ur country u can handle this toonod

6) talk to somebody even if u dont know them or u think they they are not interseted in talking coz it will get ur broca 's area triggered to talk to SPsnod . if possible talk to someone from same countyr tooo...

7) take cs as 1 encounter at 1 time . it is ur world for 30 mini=utes .live in it.. love it ..work it

8) smile as much as possible .. it calms u down

9) think of sp as ur family member and u will see the emotions and humane touch flows in naturallynod remember if SP loves u ... ecfmg will love u tooo..grin

10) look into sp 's eyes .. try memorize pamhugsfoss, liqoraaaa , facepiss and etc so that u dont have to look away... show concern in yre eyes , body langusage , be confident.

11) tell ur self inside that it a fake patient so very lil chance of positive findiing . u just have to show sp that u have performed a particular system exam .. its gonna b normal take my word. how can a sick sp stay so long in the centercool!!!

12) do cvs, lungs , abd exam in every pt. no matter waht...i even did cns in 80% patirnts quickly.

13) old pt.- always ask abuse, falls, vision, memory, hobbies..

14) old pt.. ask about grand children for sure ..they love it ..they will love u for it tooogrin

15) while washing hands - ask about hobbies/ summer or other vacation plans/ hobbies

16) stay calm keep a smile on the face .if possible memorise name of patients and use that. i memorised name of every patient and adressed by f=irst or last namenodcool

17)use transitional statements, open ended qs , dont interrupt the patient..

18) ask them in the end if they have any qs and ask them to call u anytime if they need to..

19) try counsel in the end ... even if u forget relax i forgot to counsel 60% of my sps!!!

20) AFTER EXAM U WILL REALISE U MESSED UP A COUPLE OF THINGS .. ITS NORMAL ..THIS FEELING WILL GO AWAY AFTER 3-4 WEEKS grin THEN U WILL FEEL U DID AN OKAY JOB...REMEMBER SUCCESS RATE FOR IMGS 2004 FOR 85% SO U COULD BE ONE OF THEM SO MORE CHANCE OF PASSING..GO BARBECUE , SWIM, WORK OUT , GO ON A DATEwink AND PAMPER UR SELF AS U DESERVE SOME AFTER THE HAMMERING...

21) LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST PRAY HARD THAT ECFMG 'S PRIMITIVE NON MYELINATED CENTRAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEM SHOULD HOLD ON TO THEIR INTELLIGENCE AND GET UR RESULT IN TIME AND WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE OmadF REEVALUATION... COZ AFTER U PASS THE EXAM U DONT WANT A NASTY LETTER IN THE MAILmad WHICH SAYS THAT THEY HAD MESSED UP.........



IF ANY OF U FINDS THE POST HELPFUL PLEASE LEAVE A FEEDBACKsmiling face

ALWAYS....
