Hi, you still have chance, as long as you can find a suitable date. With both 99, you will get over this one too. Depression won't help anything. Just keep your spirit up and think over it, learn from your mistakes and try one more time.

hi drmkma80, I am so sorry to hear about your cs failure. But with scores like yours i think you still stand a very good chance.
Now you have to sit back, relax and work on your weak areas as mentioned in your reporrt. I practiced CS with 4 different people in person at different times with a total of 6 practice sessions. Two of those came fresh from foreign countries with noticeable accents. Others including me lacked confidence in our clinical skills. But i'm happy to report all of us cleared.
What we all did was first memorized all D/D for a particular symptom.
Then we practiced those history questions alone as well as with our spouses.
When we met, we would do it in strict timed mode, right from knocking door to washing hands and draping with stop watches with writing patient notes in timed mode too. Then we would critique each other. It took us 3 weeks studying part time.
I hope this will give you some idea as how important a study partner is. So get a date, find a study partner and it will be over before you knwo it.
I hope this will give you

Thank you for your concern & support.....
I failed in the CIS... really I don't know why.
Thanks God , today I feel better . I registered again , unfortunately , the nearest appointment was on Feb 26, 2008 in Chicago.
My aim now is to get an appointment as earlier as possible.
Is there any one who wants to exchange with me to get an appointment before Dec 31, 2007 ?
Thank you all again

drmkma80,
how is your spoken English? Is it good? If it is not, maybe this is the only thing you have to improve... Did you have enough eye contact during the encounter??? Did you demonstrate your confidence in what you were doing??? I was told by AMGs that being overly-humble on the exam is a bad thing... What do you think was your problem???
Anyway, please do not get lost, stay on this forum to find answers to your Qs. to find support and understanding...
Good luck, colleague...
