Hi,
I dunno where to start my experience but I read for step 2 CS for almost 2 months. Wasnt regular at all.
Read UW and FA and found that FA is sufficient enough to go with the exam.
also went through www.csprotocol.blogspot.com website. A very useful link indeed.
FA is DEFINITELY BETTER than UW but as my friends told me that UW is the best I did 6 to 7 readings of UW and 2 readings of FA.
Screwed a lot of cases in the end just because I knew too much. This test is not a TEST of your proficiency in MEDICINE...thats for sure...
15 days are MORE than enough for study and yes ...
water in the CS center is too much SOFT so try using very less amount of soap to wash hands. I took 2 minutes to wash my hands that just made me go helpless in the end and I wasnt able to complete 7/12 patients. Tragic isnt it? :P
anyway...
started with UW and read the basic protocol...I made my basic protocol first that starts like:
examinees.. you may begin...this is the first command...look at the door information...write down the LAST .........

i even can't remember wether i washed my hands with soap or i was so stressed that i just washed them with water and forgot the soap

the problem is waiting for results do u know when they are going to report the results

i took my exam on 18 july

good luck and keep in touch

it is the best way to decrease anxiety if u know that evry body has the same problem
