Hi folks,

Thought for the day .........I read from a site that GOALS in life are like items in a supermarket.

There are 2 things to decide 1) whether you want it 2) what price are you willing to pay for it.

Life I believe is a superstore where for every goal (item) you have to calculate first whether you can afford it (price) in terms of hardwork and effort to achieve that goal. Nice thought to mull over ......... wink

Is there an NBME for step 2 CS?

After all the ardous prep for step 1 the best assessment after completing Uworld is to take an NBME? Wish there was one for Step 2 CS to know where we stand.

To me, I think practising with someone who has already passed the exam - gone through the drill - and better still someone who has been guiding and helping /tutoring students across different culture and diversity would be the best bet. They are at a disposition to assess your Communication skills, Data gathering and SPoken English. Try to find at least 2 people to give you an opinion of your skills before you go for the real deal.

Target USMLE offers the following services:

1) LiveStep 2 CS coaching in India- 2 day weekend course including course material

2) Online course inclusive of study materials and complete history taking sheet (copyrighted)- 10 sessions of 1 hour each

3) Assessment before taking exam (once or twice as per candidates option)

Please visit my website www.targetusmle.com or email at [email protected]. Skype ID is mjjune1

Hope you guys are rocking at your best!

I just wanted to add another note to this blog:

Sometimes the doorway information is so vague you have absolutely NO IDEA what system or what DD's are pertinent to the case at hand.

DONT PANIC.........you will know as soon as you enter and ask for the chief complaints ......so KEEP YOUR COOL and jot down the DD's as soon as you hear the SP talk !!

For SKYPE ONLINE CLASSES with me PM me for details or contact me at [email protected]

STEP 2 CS : Do it once ...........Do it right !

Best,

Target

The link is actually a route guide towards the exam. I clicked on the link and then a whole new page opened up telling about the exam and the questions involved in it. The physical exam demonstration seems to be the most difficult one among the lot. www.snoringcurespro.com
