I have the same questions. Anybody heard about Kaplan 5 days course for 2 CS? Is it worth the money? Is it realistic to pass this exam, never beenin the US hospitals and just by reding books and may be usmleworld.com? Thanks

I think Uworld is sufficient .No need to go for kaplan ( why to waste money in haste). Real exam will be having only common routine cases .Just that the pts there r not real pts (SP). If you want to practice few cases ,you can look into OSCE.But again ,i think Uworld is enough . All the best !!!

Not long at all. The cases are all easy and straightforward. I think the only way to really prepare for this is to practice either in the hospital or with friends/classmates.
