‎Shikha Jha- Step 2 CK - 249

Hello and Namaste everyone! I received my Step 2 Ck Score Report and I am happy to see that Hard work never betrays!!.Here I shall share a short and sweet experience with all of you.

Target score : -250

Real Deal : - 249!!

Study period : -4.5 months

Daily study :- 10-12 hours

Study materials : - MTB 2 and 3 (1 time), Board Basics (3 times) , UWorld!! UWorld!!UWorld (1st time subject wise, 2nd Time Random and Timed, 6 Blocks per day), Self made UWorld Flashcards ( 2 times), NBME 1-7, UWSA 1 and 2 taken

Self Assessment : - UWSA 1 - 255, UWSA 2 - 254

My Words for you : - Your core aim should be to build up concepts and work on your Clinical Judgement. The Exam is 9 hours long and tedious. Therefore, it is important to work on your ability to solve multiple blocks of questions per day. I believe UWorld is the best source to consolidate your concepts. Kindly revise the charts and tables as much as you can and and make sure you prepare yourself well enough to differentiate one diagnosis from another.Time is a big constraint, therefore don't be too sensitive to a single question, Read carefully, use your knowledge to choose the best one and move on to the next question .And lastly, the Exam as well as it's preparation is challenging but the point is..

IF IT DOESN'T CHALLENGE YOU ,IT WON'T CHANGE YOU AND YOUR LIFE!!

ALL THE BEST!! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF & GO FOR IT!!

My Step 2 CK experience- 260

I’m writing this because I read about 30 or more experiences and it helped me make strategy. And I want to add mine to pass on this act of kindness. CK Score – 260, exam in mid march. Prep time – 4.5 months with 2 weeks gap so 4m effectively. I’m a recent grad. Step 1 score – 262, gave in mid sept last year. Resources - uw for ck (gold standard), did online 2.5 times. Cms all forms except family med. Nbme 4,6,7,8. Uptodate for reference. Uw step 3 for psych only. Kaplan patient safety notes. FA for step 1. Process – got step 1 score in mid October, celebrated for few days. Started ck prep in late October. Tried mtb 2 for cvs for a week, didn’t like it so started straightaway with online uw. My step 1 prep helped a lot in CK prep. Never did mtb again. Did uw first round till mid January. I also annotated new points to all uworld notes (whoever did the hard work of compiling it I send my best wishes and blessings to you, thanks a million). Revised the notes after 1st round....
