Hi all,
It’s about time to start prep 4 my Step3.
Can’t keep telling to myself that’s there is enough time, that I can do it later….
Well, I have a vague study schedule because I have a full time job.
Sometimes I have to work on evenings and all weekends.
So I am pretty busy. But who isn’t?
What I know for sure is – I need to get exam results before applying for residency, it means before Sept 1st.
So I must take exam no later than on August 1st.
Regarding my study materials, here is what I have:
Kaplan3 notes
Kaplan 2CK notes and other Step2Ck materials (if needed)
FA 3
Swanson
Washington manual
Plan to buy Ez pass step3
Plan to buy online Q banks, haven’t decided which one yet
I have heard that Crush and Board are not good enough, and that Kaplan is outdated, so I didn’t buy Crush and BW for step3.
I have Kaplan 3 because I like the way it is written.
Wash manual is updated so I want to take impt data from Wash manual
and read Kaplan for better understanding.
FA is fine for CCS.
And I have heard that this new book of Ez pass step3 is pretty good.
I want to study subject by subject,
Start with Washington manual chapter by chapter
and read CCS in Kaplan and in FA.
Swanson has good questions and explanations.
I think that reasonable plan for me is to study 1-2 hours/week-day and 6 hours/weekends. I want to use my experience from my work, so I hope that I’ll be OK.
I want to start next week.
This week I gather study materials.
I wish Good luck to myself.
I also wish Good luck to anyone who is in the same boat.
We can do it!

Made a plan.
I take exam at the end of July,
So I have 4 months for prep, it’s 16 weeks.
Yesterday I made my schedule for each week and for each month,
I think I will be OK.
I am starting my prep today evening.
I have study materials, keep downloading materials online.
My schedule for this week:
Wa manual is my guide book.
This week I want to read first 3 chpts = 80pages from Wa manual,
and corresponding chpts in Kaplan and FA3.
As I can study only on evenings, and this particular week only until Thursday,
I think that 80pages is enough.

my job keeps me busy
but at least I read WA manual, do some CCS
it's calming feeling, that I remember what I have learned for step2
it's fine that I can use my work experience.
feel confident.
