Im reading the KLN for questions types and quick revision. I have found one or two good pints in each section. So get a read but master one decided upon book. The knowledge is vast and I think this exam needs more of clinical acumen than theoritical knowledge.

Dear medocuk
you ve got here an amazing journal, hopefully your performance will be superb on step 3!!
I have a question, many people seem to read kaplan notes for CK, i ve got the step 3 lectures notes, do you think i should go ahead and read them? or it will be a waste of time, especially that i just have 2 months to prepare.

Mytime: Yes I did. I plan to do a case each day for practice. One needs to get rather slick with them.
Madmad: Thanks for all your kind words I think one should start with questions. I am finding FA very useful in my preparation. Step 3 cases also have some valid points to pick. I am sure more one reads the better prepared one feels but I am not sure how optimum that would be. Bottom line I dont think I can answer this question for you. I never intended to read CK books.

medocuk you must be busy now, methink. Be relax and focus, I can understand how you feel these days. One thing comes to my mind that, if I were you, I would take this exam only when I am ready. If you need the result coming out before the deadline of Ranking list certify (Feb 27th I think), you still have some days left.
Posting your advance here could make you more confident.
All the best to you!

Hi you all. couldn't go thru with it. I am not taking the exam tom. my performance on the UW is around 47% cumulative. I have done all the questions and reviewed all the answers. But I have no confidence. With enough number of people failing this exam I don't think 190$ is a huge sum to pay for a better score. Also I don't just want to pass I want to do well.
So I shall be back. I am going to unwind for a day ro two and get back. This time in a much better and organised way.
Yuna you were right, I have to do better than my best here.
Thanks to all of you for leaving all your messages and good wishes. I hope to carry it through until I do take my exam,Cheers,
