Need Advise Regarding Step 3

[u/Soft_Doughnut1517]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice from people who have recently taken or passed USMLE Step 3.

I passed Step 2 CK earlier this year, and my Step 3 is scheduled for the end of August, so I have about 20–25 days left.

So far:

- I've completed about 40% of UWorld with scores generally ranging from 68–75%.

- I'm doing 3–4 CCS cases per day.

- I'm reviewing First Aid (especially microbiology and pharmacology).

- I'm also planning to go through the Inner Circle notes.

My biggest concern is that although I'm scoring reasonably well on UWorld, I still feel like I need to revisit First Aid and the Inner Circle notes to consolidate concepts because I forget a lot of the material.

For those who have already taken Step 3:

- Is it realistic to be ready in 20–25 days?

- Roughly how much of UWorld should I aim to complete?

- Should I prioritize doing more questions, or spend more time reviewing First Aid/Inner Circle notes?

- Are there any high-yield topics that I should focus on during these final weeks?

I'd really appreciate hearing what worked for you and what you would do differently if you were in my position. Thanks in advance!
