step 2 cs

Hello my esteemed colleagues, Many DO students received an ominous email from the NBOME this morning that discusses their attempt to bring back COMLEX 2 PE. Attached is the link which leads to the homepage detailing the Special Commission's recommendations for the Class of 2024's COMLEX testing...

NBME ftw again, gotta get their money somehow. Not sure if other people posted about this, but heres the article I’m referring to: United States Medical Licensing Examination | Revitalize Clinical Skills When is this s—- coming back? Like, I hope they stick to their rule of not reimplementing...

I just need some reassurance that even though I did not receive my score it does not mean I failed. Took the test on 9/14 and have yet to get my score. Any input would be much appreciated. All my friends who took it on much later dates have gotten their scores.

Whoops

Took it the other day. Realized after the fact that I told several SPs platitudes like "thank you, nice meeting you" or "we'll be in touch about results" as I was leaving after the end-of-encounter announcement. May be extreme, but they're weird about the timing of the exam. Wondering about...

Took CS in June in Atlanta, hoping for score this Wednesday. Just like everyone else, I made a lot of mistakes (missed diagnoses on maybe 2-4, forgot a couple of pertinent physical exam maneuvers, forgot counseling on a couple). Trying not to panic and remembering that I have a 95% chance of...

I'm look back at all the mistakes I made. Put mostly 2 differentials, with 3 diagnostic tests, didn't know 2 diagnosis but used closed enough potentials for differentials. Did though physical exam but mostly 1 system max 2, did consult the pt if I saw something relevant to consult on. I did...

Hi Drs, I did my exam may the 3rd in Atlanta. I did plenty of mistakes that I hope would not lead me to a fail. - Did not have the time my personal notes perfectly. Many of them had only 2 DDx and some even did not have any supporting evidence. - Did not have time to add more than 3 workup...

I tested in Jan 2019 and the wait for the score report has been excruciating! I alternate between imagining best case and worst case scenarios and the most anxiety-inducing part of this whole experience is that no one knows EXACTLY how its graded- people claim to have done really well and fail...

Hi all - I recently took my step 2 cs and realized after the fact that I did a physical exam on a SP wearing street clothes. I guess it didn't really make sense but I did the bear bones PE (thyroid, heart, lungs). I don't remember reading the doorway instructions, but I'm guessing PE wasn't...

Hey everyone. Took Step 2 PE in September in Philly and have been feeling really bad about it. I know that's not uncommon, but there were at least 3 cases I completely bombed. My score release window starts October 28th, so I haven't gotten a score yet, but when I go to the NBOME website it says...

Hi Guys! I just received my Step 2 CS score and I passed! So relieved and happy, my heart was doing backflips in the hours counting down to the result! So I thought I would share my experience and give some tips regarding how to go about CS. It's a simple exam, I do agree with that, but one...

I don't want this to turn into another Step 2 CS freak-out post (I took it a few weeks ago), but I have a general question about Step 2 CS. I'm NOT posting anything specific about it as I don't want to violate any rules. My question: are we or are we not supposed to do a physical exam on...

Hey guys, i really need your advice concerning the dilemma i find myself. I am a 4th yr AMG who just recently matched into my top choice anesthesia program. I took step 2 CS my first time in ATL, i marginally failed the ICE portion with above average performance in the CIS and SEP portions. I...

I have been working on a Step 2 resource of all study materials I compiled when I was preparing for the exam last year. I am still working on the resources CK and shelf exams, but I wanted to share what I have written about Step 2 CS! I went a little overkill studying for CS after hearing...

Hi guys! IMG here! I took step 2 CS recently and I'm already freaking out... I'm afraid I might have failed:( So I beg you guys for your honest opinion about what I did wrong. I'm specifically concerned about my ICE (PE most importantly). It would be really great to hear people's experiences...

If anyone has used a review course for CS or have heard from friends, could you share your opinions? I'm an IMG planning to take CS in Houston later this year and I was considering a review course to avoid failing. I've read conflicting reviews about Gold's. The only other one I'm aware of is...

I failed CS, retook and passed it, and had a great match. Back when I found out I had failed, I scoured the internet for information about what to do, and I only really found one post that was relevant to my situation. I'm sharing my story in case others find themselves in similar circumstances...

Hey everyone, new to studentdocnetwork. I am an attending recent residency grad. With some other attendings we made a course video course for step 2 CS. I guess I'm not allowed to put URLs in my post. :( Would love any feedback! Cheers.

I have a question regarding a specific circumstance during the Step 2 CS Exam: One examinee, who just so happens to have been a high school science teacher before going to medical school, fails the CS Exam specifically because of his CIS performance, which is graded by the standardized...

I recently found out that unfortunately, I failed my step 2 cs. This was a huge shock to me as I’m a 4th yr student at a well regarded US medical school and have done well with SPs throughout my clerkship and sub internships. I’m not terribly worried about the match because all the rank order...
