Hi,
Am taking my step 3 in a few days--if anyone could please guide regarding the ccs portion of step3:
1. Am doing UW --is the actual exam similar to the UW format? I have not been able to do the nbme section from official usmle site due to some problem with my computer? Am I missing out on the real experience? let me know plz
2. When we order a consult on the ccs-the consult never has anything to say???they want us to order whatever procedure we wish to be done--eg--laparotomy, biopsy, or whatever...are you also having the some issues?
3. Finally I am really nervous now...but keeping my nerves cool.
Please respond to the above concerns ASAP, anyone!!
Thanks

Ye,UW CCS is similar to that wat is there in the actual exam.
Yes, consultant never helps with anything.U have to put yur own orders.
Keep yur cool and strenghten the basics.
Best Wishes!
