Hi everyone,
I'm scheduled to take the CSA in 2 weeks in the atlanta location. I have a few questions regarding the exam itself and its preparation from those who have taken the exam already or those who have friends who has taken it.
1. I am using 'Mastering the OSCE and CSA' by Reteguiz & Avendano for my preparation. Can anyone tell me if the same cases appeared on their exam? Is this a good prep for the CSA?
2. Does anyone remember the cases they had for their CSA exam?
3. What kind of prep and how long did you guys study for the CSA?
4. Are the cases include pediatric, OB/Gyne, and Pysch or is it strictly limited to Inetrnal Med, FP and Surgery?
5. What is the best method to prepare for this exam?
6. How is the CSA scored i.e. how is it graded?. What aspects of the exam is very important and scored highly?
7. Finally, do both locations have the same cases or do they differ? Do they change the cases at all or is it the same cases over and over?
