Some say auscultate before palpation. However in practice I don't think it really matters....

The best way to do well in OSCE is to ignore the steps. First, put the differential diagnosis in your mind and then exclude them one by one. You will immediately remember the steps without even thinking about them.

[@MarkPepin]

I respectfully disagree, for a few reasons. Firstly, early learners (those taking OSCEs) are prone to forgetting important maneuvers, warranting a systematic approach to ensure little is missed. Secondly, clinicians are not always provided a strong "subjective" examination (pt. is sedated, intubated, delirious, etc...). Thirdly, students who deviate from a standardized approach rely on the clinical competency of OSCE evaluators, which are not always clinicians. Lastly, knowing the "steps" well makes these examinations very fast.

@@MarkPepin Lecturers must teach us on a daily basis how to do a systematic approach to the patient without memorizing the steps. This needs a lot of practice. But they don’t do that. All we do during our clinical rotations is taking history from patients by looking at a pre-prepared template of list of questions to ask or list of stuffs to examine. Or if there are no templates, the steps are already attached in our minds (they are memorized). Since they don’t teach us how to think, so yeah you’re right. It’s better to memorize them.
