Use Kaplan, FA , Step 2 Secrets. you should be ECFMG certified by September, hence 3 months before September should be ok

Do step 2 CS first as the dates available are harder to come by. I did mine in Philly, the hotel is just around the corner to the center. Use USMLEworld for Step 2 CS, it took me 1 month to prepare. You will need a practice partner. that helps alot. Its not an easy exam, its not only a test of your spoken language skills its also a test of your clinical skills on your ability to ask the right questions to the right case.
