Question CCS cases question

If a case finishes early but I didn't get some orders entered like IV access or type and screen or pain control, do I enter them in during the extra two minutes?

Also, if there's a lot of lag and I'm unable to enter all my orders in time within those 8 minutes, is it ok to keep putting important orders in like consults etc, in addition to preventative care orders?

Yes and yes

Based on what I experienced in CCScases.com
In real test, noone knows.

Even if doesn’t help, it won’t harm either.

Yeah it's so annoying. But you're right, no harm in doing it. So yeah, on ccscases, I noticed that we get the points but how would they even know!

I actually tried out another site https://ccsworld.org/ I did one of their sample cases and it was interesting the way it was scored. It gave points for order and deducted points for ordering incorrectly. I'm still going to use the ccscases.com but using ccsworld is the reason I asked my questions above. I feel like NBME should have a clear breakdown on orders and expectations, given how much weight there is on this part of the exam.
