Hello all,
I had my exam yesterday, and somehow I feel anxious from my performance. I did not feel it is an easy exam.
First day, there were 6 blocks (every block is like 38-40 questions), I felt that I have 20-25 questions right in every block, while the rest of the questions I wasn't sure exactly from the answer.
Second day, there were 6 blocks (30 questions each), I felt that I have like 20 questions right in each.

For CCS, I had 13 cases. 10 cases were managed correctly, and they ended ahead of time, and did my best in them. The other 3 CCS started alright, but didn't know how to end them. One of them was a good candidate for a laporoscopic surgery, and the patient kept refusing, and the other is candidate for hemodialysis and patient refused, while the last one I had no clue what is the diagnosis.

Based on this performance, what do you think my chance to pass?

Thanks
 
I felt like I failed and I ended up doing really well. Everyone feels like they did poorly. I had some REALLY weird cases and I wasn't too sure about my management in a couple of them but I did well on CCS. I had a couple patients refuse what I was absolutely sure was the treatment for what they had so that threw me off a bit...either I was completely wrong or they wanted me to provide an alternate treatment even if it's not the thing you'd do first line in real life.

Overall it works out for the vast majority of people. Enjoy being done, you most likely passed, now try to think about other things while you wait for your score.
 
Based on this I’m gonna say you have a 97% chance of passing. Everyone feels this way just as we all did after CS. I screwed up on 3 as well and am awaiting scores. I’ve spoken to numerous people, a few who only had <7 cases end early and still passed.
 
I am honestly very anxious about my score, it will be after 10 days. Do we have to pass each part of the exam by itself in order to pass the entire test? I feel like that my performance chart on my score report for Day 1 will be border line stars and toward the left, Day 2 maybe border line and toward the right while CCS hopefully will be to the right side ........
To those who have passed the test, how was your score report performance for day 1 and day 2?
