Questions were vague mostly, but some were easy. Had to guess a lot.
Made a lot of mistakes on CCS cases, but at the end all patients were getting better and could come to a diagnosis.
I don't know what to say. Just to think i may not pass it freaks me out.
I'll let you know how I did.

done with step 3 but i hop will not need to repaet it.
for my openion, i don' t think that this exam is assessing your knowledge rather than how fast is you reading & how good is your clinical decisions !!
i feel in dealing with this exam that it;s like a game i.e how do you mange your time !
again i hope will not need to repeat it .
Finally, UW & FA are very good resources for this exam

Agree with H_H opinion about the exam. Although I did not have trouble with time, it was more difficult to manage it than with Step 1 and 2. There was 1 question I missed cuz I wasn't paying attention to the clock at the end of the block; block ended just when i was about to click on the answer; oh well, I think i was going to have it wrong anyways.
I hope I don't have to repeat it again either; can't stop thinking of it, driving me crazy.

Next time. do the NBME exam first and go only if you pass on the NBME!
otherwise dont go. thats it. Everything else will give you overconfidence by giving you a higher score if you do it the second time! Always do new questions only! old questions are as good as junk, dont evaluate yourself with those.
Good luck my friend, we are all in this together. dont look back keep studying, and reasoning why you are not getting something right.

I passed!!! I got 80/195. I wish i had scored higher, but at least I am still on the 80 mark. So I am officially done; no more USMLE's forever!!!
