I used the 2018 version and it was fine
You passed.I just finished my oral exam (second attempt) and I am TERRIFIED. I made a few mistakes on my first stem. Didn’t kill the patient, but things that I should have done differently. The second stem went a lot more smoothly. For both stems I got to the middle of the third grab bag and time was up. Ugh.
The OSCE felt ok. The communications with a professional station was the only station I felt was iffy. The rest was fairly straightforward.
My question is: how many/what kind of mistakes can you make on this thing and still pass? I know we don’t have to be perfect but I wanted to be and now I’m freaking out.
Thanks for the encouragement. I keep replaying my (stupid) mistakes in my head and I’m losing sleep. Most of the mistakes were knowledge questions, not so much management. Questions that I could have easily answered to get more points because I knew it, I just overthought the stem.You passed.
You can take it a 10x and it will
Feel like this each time.
in general you’ll feel much worse than your performance the more you replay itThanks for the encouragement. I keep replaying my (stupid) mistakes in my head and I’m losing sleep.

Will they? I don’t think the results will be out by then. Historically looks like they would be out by Tues or Wed of next weekYa pretty tough experience. Waiting for the long awaited results. Hopefully they give the September exam week results before the 30th if ppl need to retake

That’s kind of wildRegistration for next year is over on September 30th so unless they open more spots wouldn’t be able to register again until next September.
Didn’t know that. Do they charge more for it? My anxiety won’t let me go to the ABA website nowThere’s a late registration that opens in January as well

Just got my pass. For OSCE, I believe there is a grading rubric just floating out on the interwebs. I thought that was more useful than UBP and the ABA outline. Also recognize that the US and Monitors station is only 2/7, so the majority of the points I believe come from your ability to do the tasks not the technical knowledge.Guys! I failed the osce for a second time. I’m actually stumped. Used UBP and followed the objectives. Not sure what else to do? What did you guys use?
I passed in March. Found the Ho videos to also be usefulI passed as well. Found the Ho videos to be more useful than UBP
You watch the videos or just read? Practice u/s on friends? Practice saying things out loud?Guys! I failed the osce for a second time. I’m actually stumped. Used UBP and followed the objectives. Not sure what else to do? What did you guys use?
Watched and videos and read the content 3 times. Practiced u/s on friends and out loud. Read over the ABA content outline and made sure to hit those points. STILL failed.You watch the videos or just read? Practice u/s on friends? Practice saying things out loud?
