Hiiiiii friends , i`m done with step ck exam ..... 1st of all thank you all for gr8 support.. 2ndly i`ll exam is doable , in contrast to last few posts who said that there r very long Qs and this and that .... JUST KEEP YR COOL There were indeed long Qs , some very long , but they r very few ... there were around 30% long Qs , and very few say 7-8 very long Q for i had to scroll douwn .. but they r not going to come all in a single blok . they r evenly distributed thro all the bloks... On an avg i had 3-5 min left after each blok xcept for the last blok which i found very hard .. my 5th blok was also little hard.... There were Qs fron almost all the topics but few topics was tested heavily , i`d likt to mention , CNS (dementia is heavily tested, so know all types of dementia) , wierd physian pt relationship, CVS is tested at larg (got 2 ekgs one was wierd , and 2nd was temponade with low voltage complexes) , obgy is tested heavily very few syndroms immunodef dis , hard ones , i guess i did most of them wrong did not get lot of hiv which i was expected infl bowel dis In comparison to step 1 step 2 is better... i got few Q frm UW also , and the Qs asked r litlle less standard than UW... do expect some wierd Qs they r bound to come , all have to do is just tick one option and go ahead, these q invole multiple organs with multiple signs and symp , my adv is just ignore them before they get into yr nerves MOST important u shd keep yr kool throughout the exam I`m going for outing 4 few days ....... i wish all of you very good luck.... Feel free to ask for any assistance, thank you

I agree with both cases: 1. The test isnt that bad as some people have posted here. I dont know if it is writing or their frustration but I thought personally the exam was great. Very well balanced and pretty doable....I WOULD NOT SAY EASY.....but then that depends on your prep not the exam. At least every question I had was something I knew existed in the material I studied .....just that I DID NOT REMEMBER some of it...:-)) 2. Alcohol and Benzo?????!!!! Are you trying to kill people around here....lol....thats a suicide combo man....

hi ashutosh, please tell what did you study in the last days. i mean a day or two before actual exam. i know lot of people say crush step 2 . but i feel its too simple. very brief given. what do you advise for a rapid but concise review for the last 1 or 2 days. also tell your various exam score correlations. i mean nbme(if you gave), kaplan simulated, usmle cd etc.
