Step II step 2 CS patient note

[p1ggy]

Took the test this week. Quick question. For the patient note, are we supposed to fill out ALL of the supporting findings boxes under differential? For most cases/diagnoses i only filled 2/3 of the boxes especially for the exam findings

I don't think you need to fill it all out - just pertinent negatives/positives for findings and then any relevant testing. For some cases I filled them all out but for most I only had 1/2 - 2/3 of the boxes filled and I passed with that approach!

Thanks for replying! If you don't mind me asking, did you pass comfortably or did you hit the borderline zone for ICE?

Comfortably! ICE wasn't my highest section but it wasn't borderline.
