I dont know why it just re-posted what I put earlier! The PDF looks exactly like what they used to send in the mail.. it is 2 pgs.. one with the score, one page with the performance profile. It was nice as I was able to attach & email to my school already rather than waiting another few days to get in the mail. Also, I had been checking OASIS & Im pretty sure the moment they updated OASIS, I got the email, so the OASIS "trick" will soon be obsolete.

I spent 6 weeks preparing for this. 1st Aid & Goljan were money. I also used Kaplan Home Study books & QBank. I cannot stress how important questions are. I read through the material and I think that I know it until I encounter some questions which force me to apply the book knowledge into actual vignettes. I only read through some parts of the Home Study books. I also used BRS physio because I love Costanzo. I never watched PASS or Kaplan because I have the attention span of a fly.

It is also very important to get a good foundation when you are actually taking the classes. I tried to LEARN not CRAM when I was on the island, so studying for the step was more like a review and putting together concepts learned from the different classes.

Good luck all!
