Step 3 is a normalized test, and because all residents put less effort into studying, you simply need to do less work to achieve the same score. That said, if you comfortably passed Step 1 and Step 2 and it hasn’t been years and years, you will pass Step 3 with nominal preparation outside of familiarizing yourself with the CCS software and the official sample cases. But if you are worried about getting that competitive cardiology fellowship, it’s hard to nurse the popular opinion that Step 3 is $815 pass/fail two-day pain-fest that you can simply walk in and take. In reality, it’s probably more like two months for Step 1, 1 month for Step 2, and two weeks for Step 3. The old adage has been two months for Step 1, two weeks for Step 2, #2 pencil for Step 3.
