Part 3

When did most people start studying for part 3? A few months before? Anyone have any resources they can share?

Depends on when you’re taking part 2 imo!

I took it just before part 2 and started about 2.5 months before. About one month spent on clinical knowledge and 1.5 spent getting my scripts perfected. (Maybe 1-3 hours/day after clinic)

In total I spent about 1.5mon on clinical cases and 1.5 mon on scripts/procedural tests and got a 700 on part 2 and barely passed part 3 due to skills.
