Passed Step 3!
Since I had read through some of these posts, I figure I'd put in my two cents..
I started studying for Step 3 about a year after I took Step 2; wanted to be done with it before residency. Spent about 3 1/2 months studying.
I completed UWorld once with a 57%, took the UW assessment about 2 weeks before the real exam and got a 470/210; took the only NBME about 4 days before and got a 520. Neither of them test for the CCS. So for the CCS, I listened to Dr. Red/Archer's Lecture on CCS which was really good. Went through all the UW ccs. Then went thru majority of the Premier Review Lectures. Skimmed through Crush and Kaplan's Master of the Boards.
On the real exam got a 197/80. It seemed a bit harder than the practice questions I had been doing, but CCS is on par if you practice. Score came exactly 3 weeks later.
Good luck!
