USMLE How many days apart between Day 1 and Day 2 of Step 3 exam Should I schedule?

[Duy Chung]

I plan to take Day two 1 week after Day one. I think it is a good plan as you can relax, refresh and prepare for day two. However, I saw many people here suggested that the 2 days should only be 2-3 days apart. Is there any reason for this? I also doubt that the longer I wait, the more fatigue I may suffer on day 2.

I think it depends on how well you prepare for the cases

I have been doing CCScases for a month now. Personally, I think that preparing for CCS in the time between the two days won't work for me.

Then 7 days would be a lot I think if you feel comfortable with the cases portion. In my opinion, just have the days yu feel you need to recharge
