I was wondering the same thing. I thought maybe PGYO being prelims in med/surg/TY who were able to take the exam, and CA-0 as being those who are in categorical programs?
I agree...thanks for the reply.Under 50th percentile; anyway, not good.
You have one year to fix it. You don't want to risk failing your written board exam.
When I was in my prelim year, I was offered to. It has no real meaning, except for establishing a baseline, like AKT-0.are prelim interns taking the anesthesia ITE? I've no clue.
I am ca-2.
It correlates to 16th% for CA-2

I wasn't required to take it. My CA program said since I wasn't technically "their" resident this year they couldn't mandate my time. And since pretty much everyone at my site was on vacation that week, I was stuck on in house call anyway. The TYs that took it thought it was hard.
Does anybody know where to find a table of how to interpret the raw scaled score for all levels ca-1-3?
Are the numbers posted above from previous years experience? Or are those accurate for this year as well?
That is beyond fantastic!CA-1 here. Scored a 44/99th percentile this time around. I thought that the hall book was helpful, as were the old ACE questions. I spent most of my time doing textbook reading and I thought that it was also fairly beneficial. The key for me was to get into a reading schedule and try to read a little bit every night.
Ca-3 here, 44 raw/96 percentile. Studied hard for about two months doing basic review guides, all of m5, reading kaplan cardiac manual, and reviewing keywords and most of open anesthesia. I tried to focus on questions that less than 50 percent got correct. I plan on doing the same regimen for boards as well as trying anesthesia prep and doing all the old ABA board exams. Also, someone in my class made a pretty thorough 20 page review of hall, so I just read that instead of going cover to cover again.
CA1 also, also 44/99%. Read M&M cover to cover x1 with probably x2 of some of the basic chapters like inhaled/IV/pharmacology/etc. Also read barash chapters of the basic topics. Did most of hall, though hated it. Did m5 twice, which is where I think the money is.
I think Hall is outdated and covers a lot of things that will never be tested on the ITE. Do I really need to be able to calculate how many ml of iso that the vaporizer will use per hour?
45/98%ile CA-2, did better than I would have guessed given how hard I thought this year's test was right after taking it compared to last year's first computer-based session. Re-did the Hall book, Faust, select chapters from Morgan and Mikhail, and baby Miller. Also did about 3/4 of the online lectures from Univ of Kentucky. I missed more generic/basic questions than advanced, I guess it's a product of focusing on sub-specialties for 8 months before taking the test
