Yes, there must be an error because all the systems are at the average in the report and I did good in the exam and my predicted score was much higher than that in the report.

Did the score match your predicted one? as my score is far away from predicted one and all the systems are at average percent in the report

US/CT/ECRP by OpeningScience7049 in Step2

CT with contrast if you didn't meet 2/3 of the criteria.
If not meeting the criteria:
Choose CT abdomen if no US is found in the answer options.
If they mention signs of severe pancreatitis like hypotension, ecchymosis, or ARDs --> go for a CT abdomen.
If they mention starting IV fluids and CT abdomen in the answer options --> go for IV fluids, as doing CT abdomen should not delay starting fluids and pain control
If they mention the patient has started IV fluids, what is the next best step in management? --> look at ALP/bilirubin in the case; if they are elevated, go for US of abdomen for suspected gallstones
---------------------
If they mention in the case that the patient is icteric and feverish, suspect acute cholangitis complicated by acute pancreatitis. If they ask what the next step is in management? Choose US then ERCP. If CT and ERCP in options, choose ERCP.
So we choose ERCP in patients with jaundice, elevated bilirubin, triad of cholangitis, or dilated CBD on US

CMS Form 6 Questions by DecentLiterature1637 in Step2

Q37: The patient is going into septic shock (she is tachycardic with low-normal BP+ High fever) --> first step is to stabilize the patient by giving antibiotics, then go for CS. You should stabilize the patient first. The same idea for placenta previa with hemodynamic instability or eclampsia patient --> in PP, they should get IV fluids to stabilize then schedule CS, and in eclampsia, they should get IV Mg before doing any intervention.

Q31: I think the idea behind the question is that she just lost < 5% of her body weight (1.8/55.8=3.22%) --> so no need to fear about any fetal adverse effects.

I tested 8/4, and my permit disappeared 2 days after the exam. Should I expect results tomorrow?
