For those who recently took Level 3, how detailed was the OMT? Is it pretty much the same stuff from Level 2? Another resident recently took it and said the OMT was, "pretty advanced"; I think this person was referring to questions asking about specific treatment procedures/positions, but I'm not positive.

Is there a lot of questions regarding muscle function, innervation, spinal levels? Although I've been through Savarese x 2, I usually can't remember the details of treatment procedures very well. I've focused more on Chapman's points, Viscero-somatic reflexes, and muscles/innervations since that was what I had on Level 2. Of course, I also looked over sacral and cranial stuff. Any advice appreciated, taking Level 3 next week.

I'm probably a lot more nervous about this one than the others and have studied A LOT more and feel like I know A LOT more. My program requires we pass by the end of PGY1 or we get kicked out. Bummer.
 
I took COMLEX Level 3 towards the end of November. I thought the OMM was not too advanced. The main topics focused on were sacrum, viscero-somatic reflexes, treatment positions, ribs, cranial, Chapman's points, and lower extremity dysfunctions in that order of importance. I think overall the OMM was easier on Level 3 than previous levels. I read Savarese once and did one test in the back of Savarese. I also did COMQUEST, COMBANK, and UWorld questions. I had my best score on Level 3. Overall a very fair exam that tests mostly on management. Good luck and you can PM for any other questions.
