Step II CS: Written or Computerized?

[TrynaBeADoc]

Hey guys! I have my step 2 cs on friday.

After the patient encounter do we have to WRITE OUT the progress note or is there a computer where you can TYPE the note? I feel like my performance will really be diff if i was forced to write out a note vs type it up. PLEASE ADVISE!!

how do u not already know this? simple research friendo..

u have choice to either type or write.. i recommend typing: faster, neater.

however, there was talks of them changing to typing (computer) only soon, i dont know if this has happened yet.

only on the computer. There might be an instance where the computer is "broken", then you will have to hand write it. I didn't have this scenario. Took mine in August.
