Hi ! i read in the forum that the Kaplan videos (esp Dr Fischer's lectures) are worth viewing. unfortunately, my dvd that has his lectures isnt working. is it, in that case, worth watching the cardio step 2 lectures in place of the step 3 ones?

At ebay.com or mercadolibre.com... A friend has the S2 videos, although I´m trying to get the S3 videos... Do you know if S2 videos are useful at all for S3?

Thanks SilencedMd, actually I was planning to use those same resources plus the videos. People say they´re very helpful and they make a big difference in your score...

I don´t have videos; I think what I have is enough. I already finished what I planned to do since I was supposed to take the test this month. Now I'm just reviewing and reviewing so I don´t forget the things until test day comes in June.

I truely began in January. My daily actual study time was like 6 hours. My main sources are Step 2 Ck Notes and UW. Crush and First Aid are too superficial and only read a few topics. I have no USCE at the present time. What specialty are you guys applying for?

I´m going over CK notes again at and easy pace, plan to begin in about a week studying around 5-6 hours per day in, first review kaplan notes, then crush certain topics, the CCS part of FA, watch the videos, Qbook, UW. But first of all I have to wait and see if I did pass CS , I didn´t feel very good at the test
