hey guys..just done with my exam in houston last week..the center is quite close to the airpot..and has tons of good hotels nearby with shuttle service to the center..they dont let u go up till 7:30..so dont try and get there too early..( i did..!!)

the proctors were very helpful..i had 12 cases..allfrom uw or fa..nothing unpredictable..the s.ps were realy cooperative too..its soo hard to remember to do/ask everything u have studied..so i tried to manage my 15 minutes by asking only relevant stuff..not byhearted book questions..also i councelled thru out..instead of rushing it in the end..!! helped me al ot to manage my time..did leave out couple of examinations here and there..(donno how that will turn out..??).tried to give closure in all cases and made it out in time ..was comfortable with the accent and had just one patient with a southern accent but it was allright to coz i have been in the south for some time...
..the space for patient note is tooooo lessss.... so my handwriting and history suffered..
if u can type well i guess its a good option to consider..!!!

i did all i cud.. now i hope i pass..have faith on god so hoping for the best..

all the best to all test takers..!!!

Hi ganesha, I passed in Houston and you dont have to worry about your result. Just leave up everything to God and He will guide you. I made lots of mistakes and i thought that I will fail but with God's grace I did. To God be the Glory. Good luck on your result. Keep on praying.
