I thought I wasn´t ready but I realized I never was going to feel ready. In the last 2 weeks before the test I panicked! Suddenly I went from getting 70% to 45% out of the blue. I took an NBME and I wish I had taken more.( I´ll publish my scores more accurately in another post) My Uworld score was 70% or maybe a little lower. Take notes on important concepts and get ready to fill a few notebooks or write them on your MTB (it has big margins). If you did surgery questions first those concepts are going to start fading if you don´t keep reviewing them constantly. It might sound easier to do questions by subjects, but who said USMLE is easy? And you need to keep all the subjects fresh. Start Qbank early in your study, timed mixed questions. If money is not a concern just do Uworld twice. I would consider doing kaplan for the first few months just because is cheaper. Inferior quality than step 1 Qbank, and Uworld for step 2 is significantly superior. I can´t even remember the score in the end. For the first 2 months I didn´t get more than 45% so reviewing each block took around 2 hours.Īs I said I started with Kaplan. Start with 2 blocks of 42 questions and schedule 4 hours for reviewing them. I started with kaplan qbank but if I could go back in time I would just do Uworld twice (read below to read more about Qbanks). And the fourth a quick read on stuff I have highlighted several times. The first on my own the second and third with my study partner (correct me if I´m wrong buddy). (I´ll post reviews on particular books soon) It might sound like too little but don´t overwhelm yourself trying to read tons of different material. Master the Boards all the way! also Uworld Qbank… I bought a couple of other review books to waste my money. But if you are into this full time you´ll have an easier way scheduling your study time.

I was also working 18 hours a week, which split my afternoons and made it tricky to meet with my study partner. I think between 4 and 6 months is about right. For my particular case they were a waste of time… Many people do great on their method and with their material, I´m not saying it doesn´t work. The first 3 I was struggling to get through the Kaplan books. Of the 7 months I studied seriously for about 4. But I pulled it together and after 7 months of preparation I got 222! What a magic number, is not great but significantly better than my 179 of step 1. After barely surviving step 1 I was really scared.
