Just got back from being completely abused by the COMLEX III. I was warned by other residents who took it before me that it focuses on OMT much more than any of the previous COMLEX exams... but I want to be the first here to formally stress it.
There is A LOT of COMPLEX OMT on the COMLEX 3 as per multiple people's reports on it and my experience getting dragged out behind the metaphorical barn and beaten senseless with OMT questions.
I went through the first 200 questions and said "wow there is a lot of OMT on this." then the next 100 I said "oh damn and its hard".
I decided to record how many 100% OMT questions (so not counting ones where the facilitation was given but wasnt vital to getting the correct answer) were on my last 100 questions. 19-21! Depending on if you count questions that were OMT questions but the answer ended up being something akin to "time to call the surgeon". 19-21% (admittedly only quantitatively measured in my last 100 questions) of the test was this.
Grumble, grumble, something about diversity of topics, grumble, grumble.
So just heads up to anyone preparing to take it this year or early next year.
