Do we have to pass ccs seperately or everything is combined?

Also, approx what percent correct at home practice can predict that we can pass? any opinions on this one?

thanks

Combined.

I would say 50-55% correct in uw to pass if you get ccs right.

pearl20: it's difficult to know how good or bad you are in ccs, since there's no NBME for that. Even during the test it's difficult to say for sure how you are doing. I finished the test very afraid it hadn't been enough.

What I did when I was studying was: got a case, wrote down what would be my next step, tried to find the command in the USMLE software, just to learn the right words to use, then checked at the source (FA, uw, etc) what I missed. Remember, at the "5 minutes left" warning, press "control" and choose the most counseling orders you can, for that particular case and more generic ones, related to meds adherance, seat belt, whatever makes sense. I don't know if you get a lot of points doing that, but it's worth a try, and we are supposed to do it in real pratice, anyway...

mikky: I'm not sure about it. Try to read at their website. wink
