If you only had 2.5 weeks to prepare for Step 3, would you recommend;

1)Questions and cases only-if so, would you rely most heavily on UW for MCQ and CCS or combo of UW and Steps123 CCS? or...

2)Combo of #1 with text like Crush, First Aid, Strong, etc...?

Thanks for the help and one more question. I see people post that they took NBME several days before Step 3. Exactly, what are people referring to-Is their a NBME equivalent for Step 3 and if so how do I access it?

if you are studying full time and you havent done an IM residency, i suggest going through your ck medicine notes. the emphasis should be on management.

it takes 7-10 days to do UW with explanations.

spend about 5 days practising ccs.

you could take nbme after you finish uw. check out www.nbme.org. it explains which self assessment form is equivalent to s3.
