I heard for CCS, four resources should be enough: FA, UW, Step123, and free CD to practice. GL.

yes I agree syra...paper work wastes alot of time. My fiance is helping me alot in that...infact doing it for me...but still its a pain in the neck. and the visa issues after that...Im just not bothering about it till my exam...I really want yo pass this exam..as I have no courage to face another failure in my life.
yesterday I did 50nms quest and some of CK kaplan pedia. did ccs also.
now starting my day..have to read as much as I can from kaplan Ck pedia book....its alot...yesterday I just managed very little of it...as I kept googling for pictures and managements. will do the same today but hope I cover the book fast.
GL everyone.

you will be fine doc C...just practice the orders on the cd ...like for a few cases and u will figure out things and then u can practice on a piece of paper also.
Today I lost some time in my paper work...hmmm...but managed to do 5ccs cases 50 questions with explainations..will read kaplan pedia book now before i retire to bed.
Today was an axiety day for me..I had a hard time to concentrate...it sometimes happens to me...I feel I want to rush rush and in the process I read so superficially that i go back to read same thing again and again untill im exhausted with very little productive study..i tried all sorts o relaxations..went out to market also...but while Im out im ok..when studying again same anxiety...I think i need some rest so will sleep early today. Plz god give me the strength..what wrong did i do that you are making me suffer...plz give me peace of mind so that i can use the brain u gave me to study.

pulmonary FA means first aid.
nikki , i know how it is before the exam with so many things on your mind and you want to revise everything...but thats not humanly possible. try to relax...you've worked so hard....just take a break...give your mind some rest so that you are fresh for the exam. you'll do great in the exam...i wish i could make you believe that. take care.
thanks doc_c. i have no idea about CCS. i think i'll strat doing the cases in may. good luck with your studies.
