step 3 ccs

[peeludr]

hey everyone i took my exam 2 days back and i am worried.My first day was ok ,being a very slow person i was able to finish the blocks which i think was an achievement!!!,i felt good about that.But the second day was horrible.I ran out of time in 2 blocks and had to rush through some 10 -15 questions!!!
then came the worst part.I panicked a lot and took a break came back for ccs.In my first case i panicked about wheather to admit the patient or not?I forgot to consult surgery befoe doing surgery in my second case ,forgot to add heparin in my mi case befor cath,had a strange case where a patient came for evaluation before weight reduction surgery and was found to have pulmonary hypertension and i didn't know how to manage,and in the tca overdose case the screen ended before i could review the results,and in a gynec case i screwed up big time and missed out on the diagnosis until very late.I did 4 cases somewhat satisfactorily and did some silly mistakes on the others too which i realised then itself but i couldn't do anything about it because i had advanced the clock already.guys i dont know.does anybody know anyone who passed after screwing up on ccs?i am worried i'm just praying to god and keeping my fingers crossed

hi To my surprise ,I passed step3 with a score of 85.Sorry I didn't post it earlier.But it was a scary exam,Guess what?I scored very well on ccs.so guys,i think missing one or 2 small steps on this doesnot make a lot of impact and i guess a little time delay is also acceptable if you are doing the right step after you diagnosed the disease.Dear friends this forum has been very helpful and I must tell u one thing,the NBME scores have no correlation at all with actual scores.My NBME scores were 200 a week before the exam!!!Thanks to all those people who helped me here.Good luck to all those who are going to give it.
