get ur self FA 2006 and memorize it by heart , every page of it , next do patholohy golajn , if u dont have the time just get the rapid review by golajn and do that . get Qbank , do all the Qs , i think these 3 things should help u pass the exam , and if u have the time go over the physiology & pharmacology (kaplan), next should be immunology & biochem , and then the rest .
hope this helps

Hi George
I agree with aisha2. That sounds like the right approach. I would only add, that you should probably take one of the NBME exams after 1 month of studying, just to see where do you stand in all these. If you are not at least within the passing score range, than might be better to postpone it. Having said this I should add that I have a friend who did her step 2 in only 20 days of studying hard, so it's doable. I think it's a bit more improtant to study microbiology and immunology before physiology, otherwise Pathology and Pharm are a must. You know better where you need more reviewing.

HI,
for such a short time, i think
For Pathology--i think Rapid Review of Pathology (by Goljan)is great(concise) --get it from a friend or a bookstore ,because if you buy through amazon now, it takes some time for them to ship it.
Microbiology-- Rapid Review of Microbilogy is also good-- concise
You can see made ridiculously simple for picture aids and pnemonics
Pharmacology-- First Aid + latest Kaplan lecture notes
Biochem-- Kaplan Lecture notes
Physiology--kaplan Lecture Notes + BRS (for important topics ONLY--like CVS ,ENdocrine,CNS)
NEuroAnatomy--HighYIEld
Anatomy-- Kaplan Lectur Notes
QBook-- Kaplan
Like aisha2 said , do all this along with First Aid , adding any extra points as you go along. and revise only First Aid really well in the end,
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!
