I just finished taking step 3 back to back and definitely feel like I failed. On the first day multiple choice, I was literally making an educated guess every 3rd question. The biostats were out of left field and there was so many basic science questions! The second day multiple choice was more like Uworld but I still made a lot of dumb mistakes. I also didn't do that well on the CCS cases, despite almost all of them ending early. In 3 of my cases, the patient's pain/symptoms were getting WORSE but when I advanced the clock by only 4 hours, the case ended WTF?? In 1 obgyn case, I had no idea what was going on and didn't know what I was doing. In another case, I intubated a patient who did not need intubation, although I fixed the patient's problem eventually. The other 8 cases went OK, fixed the problem, case ended early, but I forgot some monitoring stuff here and there.
I scored a 183 on UWSA1 5 days before the exam. Was averaging 60% on UWorld, finished entire qbank. Did anyone else feel like absolute crap after this test? I pray that I passed this test. I am a US MD and the statistics say that I have a 98% chance of passing but I am really worried that I will be in that 2% of failing, especially now that the passing score has been raised to a 198.
For reference, my step1 and step2 were in the 220s.
