Step II CS Scoring

[ortho060802]

I took the exam yesterday and as I went through realized there were several questions or exam findings that I missed or forgot. Usually just as I closed the door. (It is frustrating that you cannot go back in the room to ask questions like I see residents and staff do every day) One case I really forgot some important things. Does anyone know what they do with cases. You perform 12 but I heard only 10 count. Do they have two cases they are evaluating for future exams or do they throw out the lowest 2 scores? I found I felt a little rushed on the exam and note and had to leave out some exams or findings. Along with the complete mental lapses. Any info would be great. Thanks

I left the exam feeling the same way that you did and I passed. Hopefully, things will work out well for you!

I believe there are 2 cases that are experimental. During my day, there was one SP who was VERY clueless as to his symptoms; this case must not have counted.
