Moderator, Junior members, Siniors,New bies and Gurus , and all of good friends of this forum; I am not happy to tell you that I didnot pass my step2 cs, I opened my envelop last night and there was the news,then My dapsa or damsa started, it took less that 1 min that i was able to find out that my weakest part was Communication and Interpersonal Skills(intrestingly the part that I was thinking I will ace ).my I.C.E.&SEP were well above the avarage.now I need your help. please explain to me what is exactly this CIS ?in case that I did it correctly, is there any possibility that the computure made some error? ,do I have any chance to challenge ECFMG for my result,? I am not a kind of such a person to shoot in dark,or take a chance just for fun of it .I felt very prepared for the exam. So Please enlight me with your advises.Any comment would be appreciated. Good bles you all Thank you in advance and GOOD LUCK.

what did you use for prep? the cis is basically the sp grading you on how you interacted with them.

did you have any study buddy? it was very helpful for me, we were 3 ppl, we prepared together. One of us was SP, the second one was a doc and the third one was watching.... and we said each other what did the "doc" wrong.... so we could correct our mistakes immediately and could avoid them on the real exam. and if someone made mistakes again and again or someone couldn't remember some stuff (qs, PE or anything else) we prepared for him special cases ...... we used UW, FA and digi doc site. if you have any other qs, feel free to ask.

Hi guys Vanessa01, This idea of working in group of three is fantastic , I practiced one on one and not realy for long time but I studied every thing . I am sure I am going to use your method this time ,thank you very much and god bless you Amir hossein Thank you very much for sharing your information with me. I used the last edition of First aid for step 2 cs which was the previouse one , since the new one was released after my exam date , but it was good.I also used tones of informations from Digital doc, it is briliant also Usmle world and osce/csa .I think I was ready to handle the challenging questions , Still I donot understand what was my weakness in Interpersonal skill that caused this ,I can not think of a thing that I didnot follow from this part , I was thinking that I will fail because of my bad hand writing , but it was not that bad and they gave me even good score , but my score in this inter personal skill was very very close to minimum even less , I wonder if it is possible that even I didnot get the minimum score to pass , since I was confident that is my strong part.but any way it is done now and I have to start over. Thank you all again and good god bless you all
