Help me out here, I'm getting real worried.
I have one week left until COMLEX 3--and even though i scheduled an "easy" rotation, I was not able to get as much studying done as I'd hoped until this point. Now, I'm getting very mixed reviews from people--some tell me they didn't study at all and passed the test, a couple of interns at my program swear they've been studying like crazy and failed, and one guy even said it was the hardest exam he's ever taken.
To pile on the pressure, my program requires me to pass step 3 before starting PGY2.
So far, I've done the following:
*read Strong Medicine for Step 3
*used Kaplan's Qbank book from 2005--did 4 practice tests from it
*did COMLEX's old questions (from 2003) that i found on that website.
I'm now reading Savarese and I still really need to brush up on my peds and obgyn. On practice q's, I'm scoring in the 60% correct range. Any suggestions for most efficient studying?
Thanks!!! 🙂
