Is the depth to which OMM is tested on level I and II similar to what I should expect for level III? Same areas of focus?

I'm putting aside two days for OMM studying, with most of my focus directed on autonomics, back pain stuff, basic principles. Not planning on going into any specifics about techniques.

Anyone advise differently?
 
From my experience, the OMM questions were similar to the type of OMM questions I saw on Step 2 (and I thought a little easier than Step 1)

Your plan to study OMM sounds fine, enough to pass the OMM portion of the test (perhaps not answer every question but a good majority) - as long as you have a strong foundation to begin with.

Of course, the disclaimer is that this is the COMLEX so no one can predict the type of questions, the quality of questions, or the difficulty of the questions that you will encounter.
 
Thanks for the above input.

Took the test and found the tested OMM material similar to the previous levels. Some hard-core pelvis, but otherwise do-able.

An exam very focused on the practical aspects of medicine - when patient should follow-up, who needs special vaccines. Found my months of floor medicine not very helpful as majority of exam was out-pt med, peds, ob, etc.

Good luck to future takers...and me (really hoping I passed:scared:)
