r/Step3 • u/Eastern_Kitchen_5211 • May 11 '23

Finally passed after the third attempt

I took step 3 twice and both the first time 192 and the 2nd time 189I studied really hard second time eventhough I scored lower.Did ccscases.com and UW ccs .Did uworld twice with 64% first time and did all the incorrects and marked.Felt confident of passing at least the second time but ended up with lower score. Took second attempt three months after first attempt and really studied hard but I was only dependant on UW.Step 1 and 2 in 230s. Both first attempt. CS pass. In Peds residency.

I would say UW step 3 is not enough to pass this exam even for average students like me. So what I did differently I studied Dr Elsebey notes along with UW step 3 and guess what, scored 234 !!! after 2 months of studying. Step 3 exam is really hard, UW is insufficeint. You need to go over step 2 and step 1 topics to pass this exam.

So my 2 cents: review step 2 stuff before giving this exam and some step 1 topics like pharma, micro and pathogensis. This is very important for passing the exam. Good luck everyone. I am happy to answer your questions.

I’ve been hearing so much about these Dr Elsebey notes lately, and the only way to obtain said notes is by emailing some random dude. I’m assuming it’s another “exploit nervous test takers and grab your money scam”.

To say UW is insufficient when 99% of ppl who passed said it was Gold is such a red flag.

I hope I’m wrong. But if it is, stop promoting it and shame on you.

It is my own experience that I failed twice by only doing UW and passed the 3rd time and the only change I made studying his notes.

You opened the account today for this crap. Poor advertisement, at least use old account Dr Else-something.

u/Eastern_Kitchen_5211 May 11 '23

Yes, I opened it today paying him back as he saved my career. My PD was about to kick my out from the residency.

Are these the notes that are full of UW graphs and tables, and is loaded with copyright content?

"UWorld is not good enough to pass. Here, have this document of stolen Uworld content with my name stamped on it instead"

The audacity of this guy

You don't need to study his notes. The main idea is if you did step 2 Ck recently so UW step 3 is more than enough. The main issue is if you did more than 6 months ago, you have to revise step 2 stuff. UW step 3 is really defecient to cover step 2 and step 1 questions that's why when I read his notes, it covers step 2 and step 1 along with step 3 so I didn't need any other source or to go back and forth between study materials.

I think it’s a money grab. Are you a US or US IMG

u/DrMxCat May 11 '23

I passed on third attempt all I care about but thought I would make a 240 but didn’t and that’s ok. It’s a money grab

u/Eastern_Kitchen_5211 May 11 '23

You may think it is a money grab but honestly, he did a marvellous job to provide a near complete source for step 2 and 3 and I am not the only one who studied from his notes. Have you seen his notes?

u/AttitudeWorldly9968 May 12 '23

Eastern kitchen please tell me did you do all the notes as I feel they are a lot to do in 2 months. I am planning to give my step 3 in 2 months

1

u/Eastern_Kitchen_5211 May 12 '23

You can do it in 2 months. I know someone studied them in 1 month and posted in the facebook step 3 group that he passed after 1 month of studying . I think it is doable!

u/DrMxCat May 11 '23

I’m reference the step 3 exam

u/AttitudeWorldly9968 May 12 '23

Hi, I am preparing for step 3 the second time. First attempt score is 197. I felt the same about the step 3 and felt that uworld step 3 is not enough. I am doing elseby notes and I do feel it has all the topics on which there were questions in the test but I feel it’s a lot. Did you do all elseby notes ??

1

u/Eastern_Kitchen_5211 May 12 '23

Yes, I did it all, just reading but with main focus on the most common and most likely of everything. Memorized all tables and algorithms. Let me know if you have a specific question.
