bugs bunny I just failed on step 2, you said you were studying 4-5hours in the beginning and then you managed to get 10-12 hours a day.
I miss passing by 1 point. I am really upset. I did well on usmleworld (55-65%) and I also read from kaplan and first aid step2. Is there anything I can do to do better at the next one? I found that I was running out of time.
All input is appreciated

first of all lemme thank drshabs, tanseembanu,.lucky n ajy2
well drshabs i think i read infectious diseases n cardiology plus respi n liver from blue prints..its a very good book..i was looking for a website by american paeds. association where they have 10 mcq's with very good explanations..if i find that out again i would post its webaddress here..i think the questions r on peds emergency..but very good ones.
for ajy2..well im very sorry that u couldt make it coz of just one point....see i never had confidence after taking exam too...but i would advice u is to study hard..study kap notes line by line first..then refer other books for referance if u want..it used to b hard for me too to put so many hours...n it doest matter how many hours u put wat matters is the output..u can have good output after studying for just 5 -6 hrs too..u know wat i mean..then start doing questions...try to finish atleast Q book..then if u want u can do other sources like UW or kap q bank..i didt do any of them...then i would advice u to take another look at kap notes..n do ccssa for ur assessment..i hope this helps..i know it is easier said than done..the one who goes thru all tht knows better...good luck dude..dont lose hope.

Well done bugsbunny!! Congrats on such a good score.
I am starting my prep for step2, I have all the blueprints, please let me know whether they are or aren't sufficient. I need to really increase my score. Thanks

Hi FH
sorry for a late reply..

Thanks. I saw some kap notes and I really understand what you're saying as I had read thru surgery, but found that Kap notes are better explaintory in surgery then bluprints. So would have to keep both of them side by side. Thats a LOT of Reading !!!!!
