Took almost 6 weeks off after Step 1.
Still struggling to get a driver's license.
So until I'd be done with this license when I could focus on CK seriously, will do some warm up with Kaplan videos.
So far, watched gastroenterology, endocrinology, preventive medicine, dermatology and ophthalmology tapes.
*Study materials*
Review> Boards and Wards, Step 2 secrets, Kaplan lecture notes and videos
Questions> NMS review, MKSAP 3, IM Q book by Conrad Fischer, Kaplan Qbank, Usmleworld, NBME

Thank you nany ;-D
Watched Emergency medicine vids.
Dr. Asher Kornbluth reminded me of Ross from 'Friends' that I could watch it amusingly.

Finally, done with driver's license!!
but the only thing I did for ck during this past month was simply watching pulmonology videos *_*
With 2 months and 10 days left, I cannot help giving up on IM qbook.
I have to finish Kaplan vids and lecture notes as soon as possible and move on to Qs!

NMS is a waste of time. (In case you are sorting out because of short time). Usmleworld has to be a priority! And Fischer's DVDs.
Good luck!

ooh, yes, almost done with internal medicine..
Studied 'other' chapters of IM except infectious dz and neurology parts.
After watching all IM vids, will move on to surgery -> ob/gyn -> ped -> psy, epi/ethics in this order. Finish MKSAP at the same time.
Should not take more than 2 weeks!

Thanks, mytime and nany~
Since I am being too slooooooooow, and time's running out so rapidly, can't even manage to leave a line on my journal 
With my amazingly tedious progress (considering time left till the exam), I threw out all other books and concentrating only on Kaplan and First Aid.
Can't wait to start Questions!
Just finished Ob/ Gyn.

Thank you very much nany :-)
I got 460 on nbme3 today..somewhat heart broken.
Found that I'm bad in ob/gyn, musculoskeletal, and neuro.
Have to study more seriously with questions.

Ooooooh, not doing very good.
Did only 2 blocks of kaplan qbank and 30% of uw
Overall 68% correct for qbank and 66% for uw.
Can I even finish these before the test?
Well, delaying the exam is not an option though I'm tempted to do so

Thanks for the encouraging words Ivonne. Sweet.
Should have finished uw 2 days back but could not d/t some family affair...
There are still 8% left, with overall 68% correct so far.
Took nbme 2 anyway because it's d-7 and got 680, sort of relieving after a 460 3 weeks ago.
Will finish up uw today and start memorizing FA.
Hope to do some kaplan qbank questions at the same time; did only 4 blocks and I don't want to blow the $$$ spent for 3mo subscription :-(
