Actual score 250 Alhamdulilah
Did Uworld twice Once offline once online (3 month subscription)
I would not recommend doing Uworld offline
SOURCES
High Yield Sources that i strongly recommend , that u must swollow as well as digest
Uworld ( 6 stars, its father, mother ,grand father and grand mother of all sources  ) BRS Physio (5 Stars ) Pathoma (5 Stars ) Boards and Beyond ( 5 stars Excellent source ,) First Aid ( 4.5 stars ) Sketchy micro (4.5 stars Highly Recommended ) Biostats review (4.5 stars )
Some Low Yield Sources, that u may go through once , during initial prep days
BS: 100 cases of ethics ,BRS behavior sciences,
Anatomy: Shelf notes+Neuroanatomy 2014 Kaplan Class room videos (Rest Uworld + FA was enough)
Immuno , Physio, Biochem(turco) 2014 Kaplan Class room videos
Pharma 2010 Videos (just General pharma ANS CNS CVS , no need to do rest)
SOME DONT'S THAT KILL WILL KILL YOUR TIME(especially for beginners)
1. Do not do each and everything of Kaplan Its not Quran or Bible
Do not write a single word on kaplan, dont highlight any thing ,it will kill your time ,just watch videos try to understand ,at the end of video a rapid read , U must finish all your low yield resources along with pathoma and BRS physio within 1.5 month. Most of students waste their initial 6 month on Kaplan. Please dont waste your whole youth on Kaplan:D Most of the Kaplan's knowlege is outdate , just learn concepts , dont cramm it dont innotate it
2. Dont write anything on FA from Kaplan , innotate from Uworld and innotation must be minimum , dont fill your FA upto "HER"  mouth. If U will tease her at the begining of prep SHE will tease u at the end of your prep , it will seem like never ending ocean of material material,
SOME DO's
Start FA and Uworld as early as possible
Maximum delay should be 2 month once u started your prep
Better to start FA and Uworld side by side
Do Uworld Systemwise Time Mode . Do 1 Uworld block ,then read that topics from FA (with minimum inotation , write only that u fear that u gonna forget , or just draw any cardio graphs etc , dont try to write whole Uworld on your FA , kindly let Uworld officals do their job they are better at that 
Uworld is to understand not to write not to Screen short not to make notes , just learn it
Use offline NBME as learning source they are excellent source . Core concept repeat in actual exam
U must give offline NBME after every 15 days once u start your prep . Your target must be to do all offline nbme at the end of your 1st FA+UW combo read . At the end of 1st read u must give 1st online NBME it will prepare u for your second read it will let you know your weakness.
U should take exam within a month of second Read of Uworld
Dont delay your exam unnecassarily it will cost you
Keep me in prayers Good luck

MY Step 2 CK Experience 284 Medhat Farwati

Dear (future) Doctors, I am Medhat Farwati, a Syrian graduate from Aleppo University, Faculty of Medicine. Hereby I share with you my experience with Step 2 CK. 1. Score: 284 2. Self-assessments: UWSA 1: 273 (2 months out) UWSA 2: 276 ( 1 week out) NBME 7: 277 (1 week out) NBME 8: 280 (3 days out) 3. Preparation time: After I was done with Step 1, I moved to the US as a postdoctoral research fellow. As such, I realized it is going to be challenging to navigate my research du ties, US rotations, Step 2 CS exam, and Step 2 CK preparation. Collectively, the actual preparation time for CK was 12 months with an average studying time ranging from 4 hours a day for the first 10 months to 8 hours a day for the last 2 months prior to my exam. 4. Materials used: UW Step 2 CK (x3) UW Step 3 (x2) Kaplan Q bank (x1) Internal Medicine Essentials Q bank De Virgilio (surgery textbook) Up to date and Medscape Google, YouTube, and Siri 😊 UW Step 2: Your baseline. Most people preparing for CK rega...

MRCS PART A – EXPERIENCE

DURATION OF STUDY – 3.5-4 months (with work )  Pattern of study  Paper 1 ( Basic sciences )  Anatomy – Emrcs with NASA khan notes ( best part about these notes are he copied all the colourful pics from Snell’s anatomy along with emrcs theory ) . Make small pics for imagination of anatomical relationship .... A big chunk of questions are from anatomy , this needs to be done in a crystal clearway .. Physiology – raftry with emrcs  Pathology – raftry few topics and emrcs Pharma and micro – emrcs  I read raftry for physio complete twice , patho and micro once only  Biostatistics – emrcs  For basic sciences reading emrcs with its theory is more than enough with few references from text books to make the concepts clear  Fawzia sheets for paper one is very very very important , somehow in every session of this examination RCS is putting almost 50-60% paper from these sheets ... Don’t leave them .... Read them at least three times .... Pape...
