For step 2 I would be using CMDT as a reference and first aid as a review .I have heard that USMLE world online questions are the best but I also have the NMS and kaplan question books.I have a few NMS and high yield books.(haven't touched them)
Boards and wards is another book I have heard is excellent.
I think limiting the number of books one uses and concentrating on questions and building up from there is the best strategy .The more questions you've seen the more material you are familiar with.
I am relying on God's grace.
I have been browsing step 2 material a little but I really need to get started.
I will continue to encourage you.Maybe we can share ideas when I get started

Rehoboth
