So I'm a PGY-2 pathology resident with admittedly crappy clinical knowledge/skills who is taking the exam in two weeks. Unfortunately, our GME office requires people to pass step 3 by the middle of their second year (January) so the delayed score reporting screws me over in case I have to retake the test in November or later.
I've done about 75% of UWorld MCQ's and my cumulative performance is 55% correct which puts me in the 27th percentile. I haven't yet started on the CCS cases, but plan to finish all of them. I'm feeling really nervous about this test. Do you guys think 27th percentile would be enough to pass? I don't care about the score. What else could I do in two weeks to help prepare?
I'm naturally a good test taker, so I feel okay about the MCQ portion, but the CCS scares me as I'm worried about having to remember specific orders to type in rather than just recognizing a correct answer choice. Would completing the UWorld CCS cases be good enough?
