hi shumaila,

i have just passed my step1 and started studying for step2 ck from today .well i have a feww things to say and feww things to ask . let me tell kaplan pathology is not sufficient for step 1 .i have experianced it in my exam i did goljan as well so it helped me alot but lkaplan pathology is not suuficient .use brs pathology if u r runnign short of time . i wanted to ask u y have u decided to take step 1 before step 2 ck i dont understand y people tend to take step 2 ck before step 1 . well i studied for step 1 almost 7 month. i got good score but i must say step 1 was v tough exam .there were many reserch questions which were v difficult for me to answer. i found step 1 v hard exam i dont no y . next thing is that for how long u have been preparing for step 2 .and where ru from i m from pakistan . when ru taking ur step 2 ck . i hope u ll give me feww good suggestion . wish u good luck for the exam .looking forward to ur answer

dear shumaila and sheezo ,

thanks for every thing , i didnt want to discourage aany one nor i want to offend any one . i didint kow her exam is so close best of luck for the exam i hae dr goljan notes and lectures if u want any help from me i m available but i think u shd not listen to dr goljan step 1 lectures coz they r v lenthy . u cant finish listening to them its better that u shd do more and more mcqs . well have dr goljan step 2 lectures as well. if u need them i can send them to u . well sheezo when r planingh to take step 2 let me no may b we can plan and take step 2 together . best of luck to both of u

BRS AND Goljan perfect for Step 1. Step 2 goljan's notes. And great if you just graduated and doing Step 2. it will make a world of a difference.

i think goljan has a more clinically oriented approach. i d advise doing both his step 1 and 2 audio its easy listening so its doable.
