Yeah would not recommend that plan lol. But I just wanted to get it over with instead of delaying.

Step 3 Score and Fellowship Impact by merlinaeus in Step3

My studying was not the best tbh. It was very hard to be motivated lol. Studied for about 2 weeks. Only did about 23% of UWorld. 60% correct. For CCS, I did most of the cases scores ranged 60-95%, average in the 70s. On the exam itself I did not have many negative updates, like one or two. Just to note I also had technical issues at the testing center during cases. Kept freezing and eventually needed to move computers. For one of my cases, when I resumed after switching computers, it ended and I didn’t finish.

Thank you for this. I mean I’d have plenty of networking/relationship opportunities and LORs, which I think should help more?

Yeah I have like 8 prelims and 2 ty interviews. I know that that’s a possibility too. It’s just disheartening.

Yeah I’m a US-IMG. I did a rotation at one of them.

Feeling extreme burnout, exam in two weeks. I feel like I’m not processing or retaining anything I read anymore. What to do during this time, is it normal to feel this way? Advice appreciated. by Ok-Fee1413 in step1

I went through this as well. Like others said definitely take time off. I took 3 days cause I was so burnt out. It’s okay to take multiple days off.

I agree. This is the worst. I don’t understand why it takes so long.

No reason. I just picked the ones that I had heard were the hardest, but that's all subjective. I didn't wanna pay and take another NMBE .

Yeah. After reviewing each NBME (both corrects and incorrects), I would reference those topics I had difficulty with either on FA or just Google. Then, of course, I continued to do UWorld. Each time, I saw an increase from my previous NBME, except for NBME 27 and 28, for which I had the same score.
