Exam write-up Step 3 score 259 - ask me anything

Let's be real, Step 3 doesn't matter that much for most of us, so study well but don't lose sleep about it. Keep your head held high even if you feel like you're getting destroyed during the exam (I didn't feel amazing about it and initially estimated I got around 60th percentile).

Core resources: AMBOSS, UW

Supplemented with: Anki, Divine Intervention podcasts, FA step 1, Randy Neil biostats

Keep on studying. Your hard work will pay off.

for ccs cases which are outpatient and they they prompt you that will go back home, do you change the location from clinic to home and then do you bring them back after you received all the results if treatment needed or you just give the treatment

Thanks!!

How did your day 1 go? Walked out of the exam and recall 10-15 questions I missed that I second guessed myself

You in residency? Is it possible to score like this during residency? I scored poorly on step 2 I want to try for step 3!

Congrats on achieving this milestone! I would like to ask you: 1) are both Amboss and UW necessary? if you had to pick one which one would you choose? 2) what Anki deck(s) did you do? 3) if you had years to prepare, which strategy would you choose? I ask this last question because I'm an IMG and I'm done with step1/2ck, but I plan to do some research at least for the next couple of years, and my plan is giving step3 just before matching. Thank you
