Is it possible to only put in five days of preparing for CS and still pass?

Yes!!! My guess you could put in zero days and still pass. But its not worth taking the risk!!!!

I just replied to another thread about this if you want to read it. But the bottom line is get First Aid - CS. Reading that plus your clinical experience that you already have is all you need. What to expect, challenging situations (none seemed awfully challenging!), etc is all helpful. Cases in the back were also really high yield. I found the middle section with DDx's helpful, but many didnt bother with it.

In short, a couple hours a day for 5 days is more than sufficient if you have decent med school training.

Abbaroodle,

How many days did you study and how long approximately? Did you read anything other than FA? Did you think that the cases were reflective of the real thing?

Thanks.
