My Step 3 Cases: Sorry Guys, I was told I am not allowed to post my cases so they have been removed. Good luck with the exam.

I got my results and I passed, 201/82. I am so relieved, it was utterly stressful taking it twice. Ugh. I wish you all luck, keep trying, I am proof that it can be done!!

I used Kaplan books that I borrowed from a resident in my program who took the 10 day on-site course, Q Book, NMS, Kaplan Q Bank ($150 for 3 months I think) and Crush Step 3, as well as a little of First Aid for Step 3 but I didn't have much time to use that one. I bought a few other books also, but didn't have time to use them extensively. Each day I'd do about 50 Q Bank or Q Book questions and carefully revise the answers, and spend about an hour revising sections of the Crush Step 3 book, I spent more time on weekends and call days. Then I took a week off work before the exam and studied about 7 hours a day and made sure to sleep well. If I didn't pass this time my next step was to take the 10 day on-site course, I think it costs $1500. I also heard Swanson Family Practice book is great. Good Luck!

Woops! I guess I had seen other people post on their CCS cases so I thought it was ok. Maybe I should check with the moderator to see if my post should be taken down? I am a US grad so ECFMG doesn't aply to me but I still don't want to get into trouble with the USMLE/NBME...
