I am here to share my experience in Chicago test center around July..
I was in a morning round

I was very nervous for first three case
and I also couldnt' finish it in time in the first one.
I couldn't even start my ddx.
my first three is the hardest encounters of mine
MDD and fatigue and passed out.
At that time I thought I was going to fail.

But the result came out last night that i passed.
It is the first night after the CS that I could have
a good sleep.

One thing in my point of view is that try as best as you can
to care the SP.don't concern so much about the checklist.
most of my friends got failed because of interpersonal skill
and English proficiency.no one failed in data gathering.

So I think what make me pass it that I show sympathy in
all case.try to be as gentle as I can.and follow the protocal
knock greet shake hand drape wash your hand offer tissue.

The data gathering part just follow PAMHUGFOSS is enough.
the study material I used is just first aid

The English part is that try to speak as clearly as you can
don't try to urge the SP.
try to exercise your tongue by reading out Eng magazine.

The worst mistake I did is time management in those fisrt
couple of cases.I try to complete Hx and PE and couldn't
finish it in time.I want to tell those who r in their preps
don't try to spend more than 8 mins in Hx or you will be
in same situation as I used to have.

This year I think the passing rate of IMG is lower than in
the past.I'm not sure what happened but most of them
failed in English proficiency.so be prepared.

Good luck to all.

I took it in the AM session together with 2 of my friends and we all passed.
I heard that 5 people from Thai in PM failed in the same day.
