ok now im looking to gather material for step 3. I understand that i have to read FA step 3, crush step 3, step 2 ck kaplan notes UW and swanson. Now that i have just taken step 2 in march, i wont be revising kaplan notes, FA step 2. Now just have to focus on finding crush and FA step 3. I am planning on reading FA and crush and then starting UW. Sounds good? Any suggestions? How long will it take?...Good news is my son started kindergarten so hopefully it wont be like in step 1 & 2 when he was with me all the time. So considering all this how much will it take?

I have not read notes, I started preparing step 3 by doing MCQs and CCSs. Currently I had 1 LOR (PTAL).

Did 44 urology MCQs. Now go out to relax. Docrao5: Do 5 CCS cases downloaded from USMLE.org first in order to know what the exam is like, then read CCS cases.

Hi Move along, Did you take NBME? People suggest to take it 1-2 months before the exam in order to correct our weak areas.

Hi UScan, I like to do as you recommend but I am always behind my plan. Anyway I will try. Yesterday I did only 50 MCQs, then went out. Today I have a party. Hope that i will finish 50 MCQs before the party starts.

Hi, I just got Swanson 30 minutes ago. I bought with the price at 59 USD but this is a brand new book, a little bit surprised. Then I just ordered Used Harrison 16 Manual, price at 26. Hope to receive it in next 5 days.
