i think 3 months of ardent study would do, but it depends on how u understand things and how fast u study ,kaplan lecture notes are enough for step 2 i got a 99 with that ,i didnt even take the course and worked parttime so dont get worried just beleive in yourself and study well ,i took the online q bank for one month,i think it would be good if u could take the usmle world q bank for 3 months and work it out in subject wise manner, usmle world is really helpful i worked it out twice and it worked for me,hope this helps u ,best of luck

hi, the q bank i ment was the kaplan step 2 ck q bank ,hope u knew about it by now, then if u ask me can u take it in one reading it depends on how much thorough u r reading was and how much u retained , so if u think u have a general idea take uworld questions and read kaplan again, to be frank, since i was a fast reader and not a thorough reader i took it after 2 reading , try to take notes from uw and read it atleast twice before the exam,u see, i was following the posts in this site and few other sites and all those helped me so try find some time to just skip through this and make u r own pattern ,u know why ,because there is nobody as good as yourself who is thorough about u r strengh and weakness , so pray well and go aahead , if u have any questions feel free to ask i try if i can help, good study
