i feelhorrible having failed cs; i took it in Atlanta, may 10; i m writing it now, b/c i got over it, i know what mistakes i had done; first of all i had only studied from FA; practiced with my wife; felt confidence and all about PN, DD, and PE; but when i was there taking history and doing PE; i got blank in mst of the cases; plus when i was writing, for some reason i choose computer; i should have wrote with a pen. anyways, i m trying to justify my mistakes so that i don't repeat it again, and don't want anyone to do the same thing; i think the exam is do able; you have to practice and practice
this is what im going to do; study from FA and USmleworld; then practice on my own using pillow in the begginning and then wife as a SP; at the same time writing PN/history/DD; im shooting it for a month; have to register for the exam for jan 2008 though; anyways im going to try again........i know most of the things in fact all/ i got nervous in most of the cases/ even though i tried to answer all the sp Qs; i just felt like i didn't took enough history or performed a good PE.
currently focusing on ck; not going to get distracted now; what do you guys think?

I dont think you will have enough time inside with the patient if you start writing down the qns you are supposed to ask outside the room, I would say stick to the mnemonics ( write that down ), spend only less than a minute at the door.
