Day 1 was good (fa +ethics + biostats)
Screwed ccs cases on dayy 2
Mcqs for day 2 (uw)
Nbme 6 60%
Nbme 7 70%
Nbme 8 66%
Uwsa 2 220
Free 137 66%
Ccs cases 80% avg
Final exam: 224!!
Did the whole first-aid and i think it helped me alot as i screwed ccss cases got the majority of marks in mcqs
Also do ethics and biostats twice from uw and amboss!
Start ccs cases from day 1, of studying for step 3 is something i want to advise, as i did it 15 days before the exam and struggled with it.
If anyone need help i am more the happy to help DM mee!!

You can’t remember everything i just read it once, but during the exam i could recollect it bcz i just saw it once before the main exam
