I did sample cd today. scored 34, 38, 34. Not happy at all. Not even sure it is a passing score. :-(
Lets see what happens. Thanks for all your wishes retail, LisaM, gas and doctor :-)

Retail, 2 weeks to go for Nov. 6, 7!!
LisaM: Congrats, you cleared Step 3...finally done with everything.
Amygdalaa: I did the first 2 blocks from USMLE CD. I scored similar to yours 34, 40. Good luck with your exam.
I am planning to give NBME next Sunday.

Retail, I did get one confirmatory e-mail. But I think we are supposed to have one confirmatory e-mail for each of the two days...I am going to call them and ask for the confirmatory e-mail for the 2nd day...I keep forgetting to do this.
Amygdalaa, your USMLE CD scores are fairly nice!! If you perform at the same level as you are performing in practice, you will easily pass.
If you are unsure of where you stand, giving NBME helps...fairly good predictor of eventual performance.

Hi guys. Done with it! Dont know how it went, but it is over.
First day was so stressfull. The blocks started out reasonable and were getting harder. In the last few blocks I had to chek to see if I was awake! On day 2 qs were harder for me in 3 blocks. The last one was ok. CCS- all cases got better I think :-) although in the first case I took nearly 19 min. I was so scared I messed up that one, but in the end he was gettig better. It was one of those long treatment things and I did not move time ahead enough and everytime I checked him he was still the same :-(. and it was the first case and he had lots going on. Then I almost started lookin g forward to the cases although scared inwards, coz they were so fun. The cases were from FA/UW.
At this point all I can do is relax and have fun with my girls since they have missed me a lot and I them. I have tons of work to do. and interviews start next week.
So keep going you all and it will be over soon. The only thing is, sleep well both nights. I did not and that really hurt me. More than anything the exam is testing our stamina and capability to think when we are at wits end.
So good luck you all.

Guys, what to study in the last week prior to exam?
Retail, what are your plans?
Amygdalaa, any advise ?
Should I give NBME?
I have heard that NBME for Step 3 does not provide score correlations, in contrast to NBME for Step 1, 2.

Hi gas,
sorry did not read your post earlier.
I honestly dont know. Last week may be a good week to do a quick review of your study material. Whatever you used for prep, review it. Practise the CCS software as much as you can. This is what I did.
Good luck. I am not able to comment on NBME as I did not take it. I believe that is a good score to pass, from what I have read.
