thanks qwert6..my experience at LA was a mix...but one thing is sure the centre doesnt make a difference ..itz u and only u that matters...the cases were easy not at all hard to crack...the sps are well trained...so we shud be better actors than that...few points i think that shud be kept in mind are...
1.look confident
2.greet them well...show concern for their illness n offer them water wen they cough(i didnt)
3.do a focussed exam..dnt go in details ...look which system the case belongs to n do ithat well
4.most important...leave gud 2 mins to close n counsel the case
5.everyone does blunders...i forget to drape in 3 cases...so go on..dnt let urself down by ur wrongs..n u wud be all set to write ur experience happily as i am...
wish u all gudluck ,any ques are welcum

Do we write the patient note the same format as it is presented on the FA? How long does it take to do the oasis trick to show the result? Do u remember some cases? Congrat again.

Yes, drape each pt. Takes sec...I was saying... let me cover you.. meanwhile.. why dont you tell me what brought you here today...
I have taken mine on 17 April in Atlanta.. no result yet.. but from the reviews i have read: do cover each pt when enter the room
Good luck

-yes the format givn in FA for pt note is xlnt...
-oasis trick will work only when ur score gets released and gets updated on oasis
-yeah i remember all the cases but cant post bcoz dats against usmle protocol....sorry..but all ur cases on exam will be coverd fully by FA or UW
-place near test centre...i stayed at ramada hotel
-accent of SPs is easy to understand for evrybdy...

Thanks carviD to ans. all my Q.
Thanks to let us feel confident to read FA, UW. Any suggestion of notes, exm taught by kaplan, hx, PEx, notes etc in their 1 or 2 or 3 or 5 or 6 days courses.
re FA CS , use latest 2007 or old here on line is ok. Some said Cs Fa 2007 cover closing, but not in the old one. What do you think/
One silly Q, the pencil they give you or pen to write sp notes, & is that easy to write, I am the very light writer with v. small hand writing. Love to use own , fine blue pen, but seems like , cannot have your own pen at all, is that right?
You can bring your white lab coat, your stetoscope, what else ..
any pen light, tape, hammer of own , etc, are allow to bring in or not.
Also , not clear about the watch, which one, type are allow, digital means the number on the watch or which watch is not allow & which is allow?
Thank you CarviD.
GL in your next one .
