Step 2 CK score: 99/246
USMLE CD:91% 44-43-39
NBME: 1=600 2=670 3=580
Kaplan QBOOK: 80-85%
USMLE World: 67% all in tutor mode taken once
Exam Master CD: none
NMS Review Book: none
PLUS studied pharm and path and neuroscience from antomy (as I took step 2 first).
my recommedation is that If you take step 2 first (which is a good choice for mmany IMGS) you must study path, pharm, neuroscience, behavioral science(esp defence mech and normal developmant) as well as genetics and some biochemstry and micro ( in other word any thing related to disease from these books)

234/95
NBME 1: 550 (229/93) - 3 weeks out
NBME 2: 590 (237/96) - 1 week out
NBME 3: Ran out of time to take it
USMLEWorld: 61% - completed 2 days before exam (projects out to 218 according to Score Estimator)
Read my Kaplan Live Step 2CK course notes the 2 days before the exam.
(Took Kaplan's Live Lecture course. Highly recommend it as a baseline. Way better to take the course than read those huge dry books. Much more focused and to the point.)

For last two weeks, I focus on crush + boards and wards and while doing UW, I make sure that I go over the questions(both right and wrong) twice.

I just took step 2 CK today, was a little worried. had a 242 in step 1 and felt good walking out of that. I walked out of step 2, didn't feel that warm fuzzy feeling...
Had : 580 NBME I(7 weeks before) 620(3.5 weeks before) and UW:75-80% at the end on random did the whole thing..studied 6monts...
heaps of weird paeds stuff on the exam.. heaps of stuff where I felt I needed more info or the choices for tx/mng sucked... didn't run out of time at all, got to review my answers at the end did the best I could... about 15 questions per block I was slightly unsure of about 7 of those I had it narrowed down to 2 answers.. not what I expected I guess...as hard as UW and harder than NBME thas for sure

Hello everybody!
it took me a while to share my exparience,but it's better late than never,lol.
so,here i go:
time of preparation-11 months on and off(which is the worst) alltogether-about 5-6 months of actual studying.
NBME 1-530/2 months befor exam/
NBME 2-560/2 days befor the exam/
UW-65%
studied Kaplan books twice,and UW-nothing else
actual CK-93/230
feel like i could have done better,but overall i'm pretty happy with my score.
good luck to all of you
if u have any questions-go ahead,ask.
