Hello

I am planning to give STEP 2
What book should i prefer. and what way of study is the best.

Thanks

  #2

get kaplan notes, or blueprints for peds, med, psychiatry.
BRS obs/gynae.BRS behav science to supplement kaplan psychiatry.
since med is heavily tested, refer to CMDT for imp topics like hTN,DM,Heart disease.
kaplan surgery scores over all others.

do as many ques as yu can.

hope this helps you.

all the best.

Thanks for the reply

Did u give ur STEP 2 or going to have it.

  #5

giving it in 10 days........

  #6

How was ur step?

  #7

step 2 was okay.
its a doable exam.

medicine is haevily tested.
i studied from kaplan notes and they are sufficient. for med, one requires to look up CMDT for a few topics like HTN< MI< pericarditis/ COPD/ PE.

sleep well b4 the exam, teh exam really tests yur endurance besides knowledge.

do as many questions as yu can. thats the most imp part of the prep.

2 ct's 2 x- rays a couple of blood smears
2 -3 ecg's

every subject was well represented.
kaplan surgery is just too good!dont even peep anywhere else!
ob/gy is enoug h too. though BRS obs by same prof (sakala) is worth a look as it covers certail things which kaplan notes dont.
crush step 2 is highly recommendable supplement with yur notes and and provides a very comprehensive review in the end

good luck with yur exam.

Hello ELM

Sorry i can not you tell about Goljan audio for step 2.
Beside that what u prefer for studies.

  #11

Hi Ashok,

......regarding about the material for the test are Kaplan or BP's for review and few others for reference like CMDT.... Cecil ect.
The most important is how to master the concepts not what material we use!

For me i will get either one of these two and will do lot's of Qs.......... !!!

When are you planning to take the test?????
