Thanks friends for all your wishes. The true is that i didn't take the test yet...long story but I couldn't read anything regarding ck in the last 2-3 weeks. Many things came up that i didn't plan but it is done. Finally took care of them and I thanks God that finally i have a break to take this test. We all know that i already reviewed many resources but now i need to re-read everything very quickly...
Let's start with PEDS kaplan notes...

MEGA-REVIEW
Ok yesterday finished up 50 pages of kaplan notes Peds(second time), one block of kaplan Qbank (got 82% means that the info is still fresh somewhere in the hypocampus...), make notes of wrong answers of Peds UW and watch some Gyn DVDs.

Hi Ivonne, I am on a similar track like you are. And I am taking the exam on 31st March. I too have been doing a full time job, infact a 9-7 kind of job. I have taken 1 month off for my Step2. I started with Surgery and did it with UW questions in 2 days. I am doing UW for the 1st time. Started doing Psych 2 days back, I am done with 100 pages of psych and 50 questions from Q bank. My plan is to do Subject from Kap notes, than UW questions and than Q bank if time allows. I am planning to finish all this till 19 or 20th March, than take NBME1. I have been studying Kaplan notes very on and off for the past 4 months, and you can say that I have gone through them once, with many breaks. Tomorrow I start OBGYN, and have to finish it in 3 days with UW and Qbank. You are way ahead of me, and with a 550 in form 1 you must be very confident. Do you think I should take NBME 1 earlier before doing my read, my last read was like not a read. (it was all over the place) Good Luck.

Hi Mentor, thanks for dropping some lines in this journal. Regarding the NBME which i took it after I was done with UW twice  I am not sure about the right timing but one thing people adviced me in this forum is to take it at least one month prior your exam date but everything is so variable because if you are conducting your prep in a very fast fashion then your timing is very personal. Good luck to you too!!!
Yeah I have 100 pages a head but i haven't started yet and it is 2:38pm here in Michigan US and the worse thing is i am craving for shopping because i just got a magazine with 75% off I can not help it I have to go...will be back in a couple of hours

It is better to aim High and lose the mark, than to aim Low and achieve it.

Done with 46 UW questions of psych, got 73% but the average score was 70% for that test. Made a couple of silly mistakes, it was timed though. I will now do the explanations and than do 100 questions of Q bank. Btw got 78% in my 50 questions of Psych Q bank too.

Done with 16 pages (ID), the revision is fun since a word can trigger the memory of a UW or kaplan question. Ok will take a hot bath and get back to hit the books.
Enjoy mentor, the reading is faster now in the second round...

Thanks BW for your endless support . If I don't get a 99 after this long prep then I am retarded or just not a good test taker(sounds better...)
Ok done with my 50 pages of PEDS, each single word is important and the last time i read them before the test.
Now a quick break and 150 questions of kaplan Qbank.
