I took my CS today and I feel horrible. I forgot something in every case, not only questions, aslo exploring some sites. I wasent able to finish with about 3 or maybe 4 patients. I think im in that 20 % that fail. Has anyone have had the same experience and passed anyway??

many of us(according this forum) feel terrible after the exam and those who feel ok after the exam start feeling terrible 2-3wks after the exam,i mean when you remember the things that you forgot to do..

for me the encouraging thing was the statistics - 80% of IMGs usually pass.. the scary thing was, that some failed because of PN,or other reasons

As you all know,especially who read UW - there is no chance to cover everything in 15min.. just cover the main things and concentrate on time management.

I was reading many people's comments regarding their exam experiences and I can say,that one who managed time well,made the small things which CS like(smile,introduce yourself,wash hands,look pro',be nice,drape,help the pt,wash hands,counsel,etc..) usually passed the exam.

So, probably people who make the above enter the 80% . smiling face
