Hey my best forum, I just sat for my CS exam last Thursday 25th. I studied only for 10 days as I have no more time. Used only FA, one of my friends promised to practice with me, unfortunately, he got busy to act as SP. I just read and re-read FA, then practiced the day before the exam while in the hotel. I could not sleep the night before the exam, I got nervous, uncontrolled the day of the exam. They were so nice in the test center, they took my watch due to its stupid alarm, which I could not stop... it is a new gift from my wife, just got it last week.

I had 12 patients to finish. I forgot many things; did not complete physical exam in 2 patients, shake hands with a patient that I had not to do, so he extended his left hand and I pretended as I did not know that he could not do that by his right one. Also, forgot many tests especially in CNS patients. I did not ask for rectal or pelvic exams, but I wrote them in investigations. The first 2 notes, I wrote them by hands, but I missed many things, but I tried to be as complete as possible. From the third onwards, I typed the SP notes. The notes might be not in order but I think I included most of the things I asked and the exams I did.

Also, one or two patients asked me to repeat again one or 2 Q I asked, and I asked one patient to repeat what he said 2 times.

It is a test of practice, so please, practice, practice, practice. FA is good, I have no experience with UW.

I am so worry, is there any hope to pass?
