Step II step 2 CS scoring

[kwmd]

anyone know how the scoring works for CS? is it true as in FA that only 10/12 encounters are used in the final grade? just wondering since i ran out of time on one encounter before i start freaking out...thanks a lot

The official guidelines on the CS website say that there are "a very small number of nonscored patient encounters, which are added for pilot testing new cases and other research purposes." They don't just drop your two lowest scores, so you never know which ones are graded and which ones aren't.

so i guess my next question is...anyone out there pass while running out of time and not closing for one encounter? (i hope there are a lot of you out there...) 🙂

I'm wondering the same thing. I ran out of time on about 6/12 and I was definitely the last one out of the room on every case.

I wish I had more time on just about all of them. The first note I didn't even have time to come up with a differential. Ill let you know if I still passes.
