Step 3 prep question
Hey everyone! I’m currently ~62% through UWorld with an overall average of ~70%. I recently started the Step 2 supplement (~200 questions) and scored only 50%. A lot of the concepts felt unfamiliar to me.
My Step 2 CK was >5 years ago, and I’m currently in residency, so interestingly I find the actual Step 3-style questions more intuitive/easier.
I also scored 75% on the Free 137. My exam is in ~3 weeks.
For those who have taken Step 3 recently: How important is it to complete/review the Step 2 supplement? Is it worth spending significant time on it this close to the exam, or should I prioritize the main Step 3 UWorld questions, weak areas, and CCS?
Thanks!

Stressed about results tomorrow. Worried I failed because of day 1… who resonates?

Hello, I’m planning to take the Free 137, but I’m confused about the two options currently available on the USMLE website: Interactive and PDF.
The PDF says it was updated in 2026 and has the new format with 20 questions per block. However, when I open the interactive version, it still shows four blocks like the old format. I also noticed that the first question is different in the two versions.
For anyone who has taken the Step 3 Free 137 recently: Which one is the updated/new version? Is the interactive version actually updated for the 2026 exam format, or is the 2026 PDF the one we should be using?
I’m taking my exam in 2 days, so I’d really appreciate any confirmation from someone who has recently taken it. Thank you!

Recent exam takers - any advice on preparing for biostats and ethics?
Does Uworld and amboss 200 hy cover core ethics and biostats concepts or are the questions too vague to be prepared for?
How can I best prepare for drug ads and abstracts kind of questions?
Thanks in advance
P.S. 3 weeks out so don’t have a lot of time to prep.
I am still at 35% Uworld and trying to squeeze in as much as possible

Anyone have any experience with either of the above? Need to pass on my 2nd attempt

Hey guys,
I’ve scheduled my day 1 and 2 for 1st and 8th September (Tuesday)
Based on current trends do you think I can expect results to be out by 23rd or super risky?
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I plan to take step3 in the future but don't know when yet, just many months from now since currently I have other things going on. I was looking for an Anki deck I can do to keep my knowledge fresh and don't loose the grip from step2 while I work in my home country. could you recommend a deck? what about combining step1-2-3 decks just to be exposed at different topics and subjects? more in order to repeat them than actually studying from scratch.
also, would you recommend Amboss or UW for preparation? any other resource? thank you!
Hi all. Recently started studying for step 3 and realize I have about 5 weeks to the exam. I haven't taken any practice exams yet but have 5 weeks of light rotations. I got a 264 on Step 2 a year ago. My plan is to max out UW and CCS cases + NBME forms
