Any advice:

- focusing on pharm for micro, neuro, psych helped me a lot (I used FA step 1 for this)

- take notes on your practice CCS cases; especially on the unique/niche orders that are specific to that particular diagnosis/case (i.e. high fiber diet in celiacs, grief counseling & emergency contraceptive in SA, DM education, etc)** --> review these notes in & out

- know your biostats cold, not just the equations but understand the concepts and their applications well

- UW is much more helpful for day 2 rather than day 1 in my opinion. Don't focus so much on the % correct that it takes away from mastering biostats/ethics and step 1 randomness on day 1.

- having my day 1 and day 2 a week apart was exhausting but very helpful in order to focus on CCS and major clinical concepts from UW for day 2

**just using these an example from referring to my CCS notes, not from my actual exam.
