hi im n IMG, failed my step 3 first attempt, 186/74
othr steps first attempt
step 1-95
ck-88
cs-pass
observership in US-no hands on exprience
graduated 2006
what if i get a good score in my second attempt for step 3?
thank you

can somebody pls advice me on this..

First congratulations for making a very strong attempt. Pick up your pieces and go after it again with vengence.Your prior scores are outstanding,and going by what PD s i have talked to say, your step3 attempt wont affect you in anyway. The catch though is,if you are not already doing residency, then make it a point that you pass step 3 before applying this time because PDs are always worrried that you might have issues passing step 3 and graduating ......
My questions are>
1.what were your scores on UWorld,and KAPLAN Q BANK?
2.what materials of study did you use?
3. As an after thought, how different would have approached this exam, given what you knwo now?

thank you so much kazana,
i got around 60-55% and some times less than that,
thats wat went wrong for me i think
but im stil positive,,
i heard news tht old IMGz with multiple attempts in 1 n 2 hav matched.
ill giv some time n try again
so r u doing residency kazana?
by the way u think PDz have records of my previous applications?
thankx
n gud luk for u too

i did UW and FA
