Just got my score few minutes ago and Iīm sooo happy: 247/99!!!!. Itīs such a great feeling. Iīm glad I accomplished my goal. I got 216/88 on Step 1, it was not a bad score, but I said to myself that for Step 2 I HAD TO GET 99 and...I made it.  / . Iīve also just entered a Pediatrics residency here in my country so itīs double joy!!.
I want to thank everyone in this forum for their help. Every little thing written here was extremely important in my preparation and in building confidence. Prep4USMLE rules!!!!! and all of you guys too!! :icon_salut:
I know thereīs still a long way to go, and now I will have to start working and saving money for the rest of the tests and all that traveling and studying I have ahead, but itīs such a relief that two of the biggest obstacles are now behind me.
Thanks again to everyone. I posted my study strategy and Qbank scores after I took the exam about a month ago. If you want to read it go here:

If you have more questions, I will happily answer all of them!!.
Good luck to you all!!

Sumana,
I think that if you are almost done with your first reading and you still have three months left then you have more than enough time for reviewing (which I think is the most important phase of the process...to consolidate short term memory). If you still havenīt done MCQs then try Pre Test Series first (others would say Kaplan Qbook, but I didnīt use that so I donīt know)...but save the last month for USMLEWORLD, thatīs a must. Make notes of the explanations and know them well, learn mnemonics. If after everything you still have some days (and some bucks of course!!) take the NBME Self Assessments.
I had a lot of time in my hands so I studied for about 7 months, but I would say my case was somewhat sui generis hehehe. But you still have plenty of time to do a great job in the exam.
Good Luck,
Rafo
