Hi all,
I passed step 3. But just barely. My score is 200/82.
I studied about 4 weeks about 5-6 hours a day. I am old grad. I had the interview business in the middle of my prep. I used mostly UW and read IM from my ck notes. For CCS I mostly used FA.
My day one was reasonable. Day 2 very hard and CCS, all cases got better, except the first one took 18 min or so.
thanks to the forum for info shared by everyone.

Thanks an. It is a relief. I only hope no one looks at s3 scores, esp. in Pathology.

I have been following your progress thro your steps and you are truly an inspiration. Keep up your good work.

Thanks Jordan. Congrats on a fantastic score. Yes we dont need to give them any more money for exams. However we are still paying them for the Match, ERAS etc etc.

Thanks LisaM. You have been a source of inspiration since step 1. Even tho I did not contribute then, I was following your journals. How are the interviews going? are you going for IM?

amygdala, that´s a decent enough score for Step 3.

Can share your overall UW score?
