Hello everyone, I just got my passing CSA sscore today. I skipped my step 2 and took CSA. I studied for only 9 days for this exam. I also passed my step 1 a week ago with a score of 93. You have to know two things 1) I am a US citizen and i was born in the US so the english part was not the problem 2) i Finished the 50 cases that is circulating on the net those were really similar to the actual exam. My advice is that you practice all those 50 cases before you take CSA it takes only 1 week (10 cases/day) do it with another student doctor because we are THE BEST medical actors. My brother is a 3rd year med student and i practiced with him. Let me tell you HE WAS AMAZING in one of the cases as soon as i entered the room he was crying. Now, make sure when you do the practice to do it exactly how they expect you to do it. Knock on the door be nice and charming (*be a good actor and doctor) make sure you put the leg extension in the real exam and wash your hands even when you are practicing. I think The first few pages usmleworld ( i am not a usmleworld advertizer btw) csa practice list is a very very very good to follow i recommend you to get them. i WISH YOU ALL THE GOOD LUCK AND HOPE YOU PASS YOUR EXAMS WITH EASE, AMEN JZ :roll:
