If so, was it expected? What do you think you did wrong? Or do you think you should have passed? Just curious as I'm anxiously waiting for my scores. I haven't heard of anyone failing yet...

Other than your normal routine steps you should already know when interviewing and examining (wash hands, drape, etc..).....YOU MUST memorize each case in the back of the step2 CS book. They include all the typical disease processes...pnemonia, depression, chest pain, cough, fatigue, etc. For every illness the First Aid will list from "A to Z" ALL the questions you must ask and ALL the physical exam maneuvers you need to do. The people you are interviewing/examinating usually have no medical background, but they have the same checklist that is listed in the back of the first aid. Both students memorized those cases and passed on the 2nd attempt.

I am usually 3/5 the same with first aid (first one usually the same). I know no one knows the answer to this but I'd love to know how many of the ddx have to match.

good luck!
