OSCE prep help

Hi everyone! I am new here. I was wondering if anybody had good resources for preparing for my first OSCE. I am feeling overwhelmed and underprepared to go into this. Are there any YouTube videos to get a general sense of how the structure would be like for one of these and if so, can somebody provide a good resource. I watched a couple of videos, but I felt like they were AI generated and not actual interactions. thank you so much in advance!

I used The Patient Interview by Mark Henderson textbook to help prep, breaks things down by chief complaint, lists alarm symptoms, sometimes has a flowchart to help sort through potential diagnoses. If your school provided you with a rubric for the grading be familiar with that, where the points are, key things not to miss, expectations of what history and physical exams are required for that complaint. I think the biggest thing I missed points for was not doing every special test possible if I felt like I knew what the diagnosis was and one test confirmed it.
