Great work digiloc, I am sure that this will be a very useful site for those who are planning to write the exam in the future. Too bad that you did not create it earlier. I would have used it for passing my exam. Any way great job. You definitely deserve a hearty applause for your generous attitude.

It is advisable to finish off CS as soon as possible - ECFMG is too slow to give out results and dates get tough later in the year - I myself took the CS before CK - I would advise taking CS even before Step 1 - you only need 15 days to study and is a relief to get done with it and study full steam for Step 2 CK..
FA and UW is a cool combo for CS

Hi again...I would really really urge you to get a partner for practice - even on IM or Phone would do..

Having a practice partner gives you a good feedback on the errors you make while talking and examining and also raises your confidence - since you will be doing all that stuff in the presence of a critcal eye and overcome that 'being judged' kinda feeling
Try your best to get a practice buddy

Hi Digitdoc:
I just did cs on jan 18. Most of the conversation is fine except there are five questions from me that SP asked me to repeat or explain. Do you think this will cause a failure in spoken english proficiency? In addition, in one case, I did put the drape on until the second part of my physical exam (i completed CV exam without the drapes). Will I lose all the point for the draping technique?

Hi jjx - since each these errors happened only for one SP - and were not repeated in other cases, and if you did a good overall job - then these errors alone should not be a reason to fail
Thats my view
