Uworld, mixed, random, timed - 63%
UWSA - 229 (predicted)/ 550
practice materials - 78% right
the first 3 blocks were ok, had 10-15 questions per block that i felt had to guess on. out of these 5-6 were probably pure guessing
block 4,5,6 rocked me. first 10 questions were like wtf, and then it got better..
block 7 was ok till the end, ran outta time and left a question.
Seriously, with 258 on step 1 and 254 on step 2 a few months ago, i feel the step 3 is tougher beast. I am just hoping for a pass.
will update tomorrow.

the ccs things were a good relief from the questions. most of my cases ended early, i dont know if i won or the patient died :P. I had like an hour break time banked up from them at the end. It seems most of the cases were very straightforward, probably even less complicated than those from uworld.
the question blocks in the morning were brutal though, i ended up marking 10 out of 36 questions , yeah there were only 36 questions per block and they were harder. They seemed much more tricky or asking for something i didnt know..ah well, hope i passed this thing.

IMG , Canadian, will be an intern this upcoming June, ZERO residency experience.
Ooops, forgot to add my resources:
MTB Step 3, Kaplan Step 2ck IM, Surgery, OBGYN Notes, Peds. Uworld qbank +UWSA + UW CCS. (~2 Weeks Study Time)
Got my score back last night at 12 am EST. 227/85, mildly surprised that the Uworld Assessment was so close. CCS was above borderline to below Higher. I think Uworld is plenty for this exam since I really studies about 2 weeks for this exam. The Uworld CCS is good prep and made me feel confident about my actions on the simulation. Anyways, H1 here I come.
