Hi guys!

I am a fresh intern matched into derm. I am planning on taking Step 3 end of next month, but am currently on nights, so have not been great about studying. I do have elective next month, and the rumor is I can get out earlyish every day, so I plan to do the bulk of my studying in Aug. Do you guys think this is enough time? What score should i be shooting for so my derm residency isn't embarrased of me/I have a chance at fellowships (not sure I'm interested in dermpath or Mohs but want to keep my options open)

All that matters is that you pass. I did an ACGME Mohs fellowship and I don’t even know what I scored on that exam. Fellowships mostly care about how successful you were as a resident.

Yah, doesn't matter. I think I got like a 217 or 218 or something stupid bad. Never mentioned or thought of again until now.

Step 3 scores don’t really matter. If you’ve already matched in derm then just pass the thing
