Hi&thank you, it might be different indeed.I studied 5 months;Blueprints were "the main course",I did them twice,med.&emergency three times.I read only trauma and some preventive med. from kaplan (but that was for my peace of mind).As "dessert" I had Secrets(3) , Crush(twice) and some notes that I took off from Kaplan Q-book. I have to say, after the ex. I felt that even if I had read these books 10 times I wouldn`t have done more (the quest. seemed to me more difficult than the tests) This feeling I had after step 1, too. Catalinx69

i skipped the FA. it was really helpful for step 1; in fact it seems to me there are some topics from step 1 covered in FA step 2 . i used blueprints for ER;it`s ok. i reviewed in the month before the exam med., er,secrets and crush ,one/week along with some tests
