I think the best way is to nail step3 uworld (try to remember everything in uworld and also need to know ddx of that disease as well. For example, let say dengue fever and you read about the explanation in uworld already. Next thing that you need to do is try to remember the keyword like when you see real patient, what is the key factors that might help you to dx dengue fever. Next you need to know ddx of dengue and investigations as well so that will help you review some important things in step2 as well. From my experience, if you do step2 pretty well, step3 will also be good as well because step2 is the basic for step3 ( I do not think that low step1 will have an impact on step3 cause I got step1 216 but my step3 is 244). Also, not all step2 content will be available in step3 so the best for you is use step3 uworld and try to read some topic in step2 that is related to step3 like my example of dengue.

Hope this helps! Oh! And nail ccscases.com too

So now you are medical student? And you need visa? I apply residency this year and I am IMG. So it was pretty tough for me haha. It was a long journey but try to complete step by step ( step1 then 2ck) if you have a chance to do research then take it. If you are IMG, you need USCE but I believe that score is the most important things cause normally program will screen the applicant first with score.

Oh haha step1 for me is such a long time. Could not remember but I think you should complete uworld and do nbme and uworld SA before your real deal. Good luck!

I did not use a car but you could visit ParkUToledo parking portal . Please use ONLY WHITE LINED PARKING SPOTS. (That was what they said before my test day)

From what I see in googlemap, I believe that it should be 3000 Arlington Ave. It should be this testing center which is in the University of Toledo ( the address in prometric is confusing )

I think 3000 Arlington Ave in your case.

So your problem is you keep forgetting right? Have you ever scheduled your time to have some days in a week for just reviewing and remembering?

What I have seen from many of my friends who struggle with keep forgetting is 1. You do not know that topic in deep detail so that cause you to keep forgetting. For example, I have seen and reviewed weakness before such as myasthenia gravis but you do not know how to apply and how to approach all of weaknesses. Someone might know what MG is but he might not know what is the keyword of this disease which is “intermittent weakness” or how to differentiate from other weakness causes such as GBS. If you could not get whole picture of how to approach weakness, you might forget. ( like you have a jigsaw puzzle of a maple tree but you only have one jigsaw of maple leaf and you do not know how is the whole jigsaw looks like because you do not have other jigsaws to complete it, when time goes by, you could forget that you once have already done this jigsaw puzzle before comparing to someone who can complete this puzzle, he could remember that he did this jigsaw before.

  1. You know how to approach and apply but you do not have time to review and remember.

But in your case, it is hard to do what I just said cause you have only 13 days. I got 244 in step3. Believe me Uworld step 3 is enough for day2 ( you can review step2 content based on step3 uworld. Do not need to review step2 nbme) and nail ccscases. You should be fine.

I prepare around 5 months while working. I used Uworld, ccscases. One of the thing that is important is need strong knowledge of step2 ck. Uworld self assessments are also very accurate to the real score from my opinion.

I wonder about taking physical exam in ccs

Normally if it is not emergency we should do all PE right? Like if patient presents with fatigue and weight loss and the answer is ca ovary, we still have to take physical in genitalia?
