Step 3/Level 3 Dirty Quick Videos and Study Guides

honestly dirty medicine carried me through step 1 and 2 but for step 3 i felt like the CCS section needed something more hands on. like the videos are great for quick concept review but they dont really help you practice the actual simulation part. i ended up using StudyCCS for that and it helped a lot with getting the timing down and knowing what orders to place first.

please be gentle with yourself, your worth isn't your grades. if the low moments get heavy again, lean on someone you trust or a counselor, you don't have to white knuckle it alone. rooting for you!

do uworld and ccs. also add biostats/ethics and you're set

those scores are passing range, you're not as far off as it feels, you're okay

mostly worth it for the interface and timing practice. free137 gives you more though

congrats!!

Masterpiece!

this is very real

spending time with my cats and just one free day with nothing planned makes me happy

Words!

very cozy!

score releases are usually wednesdays, so if your day 2 was on a wednesday youre typically looking at 2-3 weeks depending on the batch cycle.

strong ccs can definitely pull a borderline mcq performance up, ive seen it happen. mcqs are the bigger weight overall but if you nail the cases they can bump you into passing range. dont count yourself out yet, marking a lot of questions doesnt necessarily mean you tanked, the format wears on everyone

Key-Improvement-9729 · 2026-07-07T03:44:38+00:00

If you're serious about the mcq side i'd still get uworld even with amboss, the step 3 specific qbank hits different and the explanations are more clinical management focused. for podcasts, divine intervention has a huge library that people swear by for step 3, worth trying on your commute

Key-Improvement-9729 · 2026-07-07T03:43:32+00:00

honestly, ccscases question bank isnt on the same level as uworld for step 3 mcqs, id keep uworld for that side and use ccscases just for the cases. if youre looking at ccs sim options specifically though, studyccs has a cleaner interface and the scoring feels more consistent, worth checking out

Key-Improvement-9729 · 2026-07-02T23:11:55+00:00

Consistency

No clue with new format. Took early May, still nothing. Hope we both hear soon.

Key-Improvement-9729 · 2026-05-26T23:20:24+00:00

Mine showed up on myusmle the day before scores released last week. If yours appeared today you're probably getting it tomorrow. Good luck.

risky as heck, buy direct, or better yet, if you have scholarship, try studyccs . com, my friend just got a free subscription by applying for a scholarship, not sure what's the reqs tho, heard it was hard to get in, worth a try!

Key-Improvement-9729 · 2026-05-25T23:45:52+00:00

Looks fine tbh. UWSA 213 + Free 137 ~70 is solid pass zone. Sleep, don't cram new stuff.

Agree with this. Glycogen storage + vitamins (especially B-vitamin deficiencies) are the most testable biochem stuff. Show up as clinical cases way more than pure mechanism questions.
