    MY USMLE STEP2CK EXPERIENCE

    Prep. Time: 6.5 months


    I started with my preparation in september,2015. Started with


    Kaplan Books. I did IM,OBG,SUR. Didn’t watch videos as I was done
    with Step1. But OBG videos are really good. You can watch if you
    have time. I didn't do Peds. from Kaplan. This first and the only
    read took me 1 month. Then I took 3 month UW subscription on 15,
    oct. I decided to do Blocks RANDOMLY. But after doing 10 Blocks, I
    realized that it was not so effective and I found difficult to take
    notes from Mixed questions. I was like what to do now..Then I read
    a number of ‘step2 experiences’. Thanks to those who write their
    experiences to help us.Then I started doing UW Blocks Subject
    wise and readIt took me 3 months to finish it off first time. I was
    very slow and read explanation of each n every question , even the
    wrong choices too. My subscription period was going to end. Then I
    bought new subscription for 2 months . Again I started Subject
    wise. Here I took NBME6 offline and got 20 wrong.I was still not
    ready to take exam. Then I took Exam date a moth prior but was
    very much worried as didn't take any online assessments yet.Then I
    read Dr. Ali’s Notes. Its good compilation of UW.But Reading and
    doing UW online makes a real difference because when you do a
    question wrong 2nd time ,it teaches you a lot. Then I Renewd my
    subscription again for a month. This time also subject wise. I didn't
    remember anything from kaplan and MTBs.

    Every time I read UW , I found a no. of new things and it helped a
    lot.It makes things crystal-clear. In the last month, I did CMS also
    both new and old forms.

    UW is sufficient for EVERYTHING. IT’S THE KEY.


    Biostats and Ethics: As I was done with Biostats in Step1 recently.


    So it was kind of Ok and I kept it for last. UW has everything for
    biostats asked in exam. If its bothering anyone then you can do
    UW-biostats (separate for biostats).For ethics, I didn't read much
    except whatever was there in UW and MTB.

    Did only UWSA online, score was 261 (15 days before)

    NBME7 offline- 35 wrong (10 days before)


    Real score- 260


    Exam day: Took sound sleep a night before. Took Redbull along and
    it helped. I took break after each block , did this in step1 too. Some
    blocks were like UW,some were different from it. But my
    concentration was maintained till the end. Don't know how but it
    helped a lot.

    ADVICE: FOCUS ON SINGLE SOURCE. Don't read too many


    books.Don’t lose hope. Believe in God. He is always there for us.

    Persistence is the key.


    I hope my experience ‘ll help you:)


    Good luck to all of you.May you get your dream score.


    Need Prayers.
