hey kitty...honestly speaking i don't know the answer to ur question but all i can say is that 3 digit score keeps changing & nobody know how usmle guys give the 2 digit score accordingly...i'd 2 friends both scored 84 but 1 had 3 digit score of 207 & the other one had 215...while the 3rd one got her score & had 85/213shocked...so enjoy whatever u got!!grin

dr. luck: congrats for you. I have to ask you about the break time management. How do you break up one hour btwn the block? Do you skip the tutorial? Thanks!

thanks everyone.........kitty, robin & sarika, about the 2 & 3 digit scores i don't know u guys are making me nervous now that which one would matter in applying for residnecy but anyways i did a little bit of my research & found out that most of the programmes score cut off's start at 200's..& (220's for high end uni programmes) so i guess we are all good......other than that now i'm confused myself that why would that be....another reason that i can think of is that as i read somewhere that whoever gets a very difficult exam gets higher 3 digit score b/c they are asked less common stuff & if they answer 1 harder question they get more points than someone who answers more common stuff.....& as i already wrote that my exam wasn't very tough ....but if i answered more numbers of questions than someone who's exam was tough that is if i answered 310/368 questions & teh person who got tougher exam answered 300/368 questions correct than that's why i got a 2 digit score greater than him b/c although i din't get tougher questions to score high in 3 digit score but i got more answers correct to get a high 2 digit score.......phew...usmloe has never been staright forward....:S !!!! zhoufg, i skipped the tutorial so i had time from that & then i took around 5 min break after each block just to have a quick sip of coffe e & red bull & only a 10-12 min break after my 5th block to eat my lunch & use the restroom & in the end i was left with only 2-3 min of break time so i didn't do the survey after the exam....Good luck to all!!!

Congrats again dr.Luck! smiling face Im just beginning CS prep any tips for cs? thanks alot.

  #37

thanks docnikki.....u r gonna enjoy prepping for cs...it's fun...juat find urself a study partner & practise all the cases in 1st aid& uw(these were my 2 main sources) for atleats 3-4 hrs a day & in the end even wear a lab coat & a steth just like u'd do in ur real exam as it will help u relieve the anxiety of exam before hand.. ...also do read mini cases in 1st aid & also practise writing patient note within 8-9 min.....the DX & the tests that u need to do for the patient should be good for u as u already have prepared for ck & would be fresh in ur mind.

GOOD LUCK...u'll do great....how did ur ck go?
BEST OF LUCK FOR EVERYTHING!!!...
