    USMLE January Step 3 - score report delay

    Took my step 3 Jan 16+Jan 17. Just checked the USMLE Step 3 website, saw this joyous news: STEP 3 Score Delay: "The target date for reporting scores for examinees who test from January 16 through late April will be May 10, 2017." 4 week wait just became a 4 month wait? Ouch.

    HAART on CCS

    Hi all, I've been doing the UWORLD CCS cases and noticed that they only seem to have tenofovir and efavirenz for HIV medications. Maybe I'm missing one of the standard treatments (I've been in path for the past 1.5 years). What should we order for HAART? Thanks!

    USMLE Just had CCS yesterday

    Just finished up step 3 yesterday, MCQs on day 1 were certainly challenging and 5 times longer stem than uworld questions. MCQs on day 2 much more doable in terms of length with moderate difficulty. The most frustrating portion for me was the CCS. I did the uworld cases about 3 times each and...

    Just took the second part of step 3 today. Thought it was fair enough (including my CCS cases). However, for the first half of the CCS cases, I think I messed up the final orders.
