hey milee , u r going great.
For endo, if u make flow charts for mgt of diseases u missed usually, and read comparative study of similar diseases as for as presentation, lab criteria. Study these similar conditions at the same time.
Do u do questions of the same subjects in UW , while u read those topics in the book at the same time.
Best of Luck

Hi falcon,
Thanks for the endo trick. I have been doing q's topicwise, in order of what I read first in my prep. reading something else.
Did rheumat block 50% finished just 250 q yet... cumulative 58%
unlike step 1 where we could answer just based on concepts, here we must know.. the most common cause, the most common complications etc.. i mean uworld says the other answer is also right, just that the first one is more common.. so must know what's most common....
arrrrrrrrgh.. i hate memorising stuff
hey tia I am also pushing myself to do q's - more and more per day
Doc499, I had a slack in prep thanks to my sleep cycle  or m i too complacant now because of CS pass and nbme score.. well the nbme should not make me over-confident..
Grazie, dear, you are a sunshine here.
friends, I have exactly 2 weeks left
God knows how I am going to achieve my goals.

Hi, milee
UW is MUST , at least for one time with explainations ( at least for wrong and fluke ones)
plus kap books except pediatrics (only neonatology+CVS+ID can be read). U can revise only first 60 pages of surgery.
U already have a "Star" and u will definately get the "Star" again.
Best of Luck

Hi, milee
u r welcome. So, what is ur planning for these last 2 wks.
If u have latest FA(6th edition) and u feel deficient in time, u can read FA instead of kap books. But many people say that it is better to re-read ur original sources.
You r going great , just keep it up and don't let any distraction to come into ur way.

Hi ECFMG, I cannot postpone my exam since I have observership at hand.. and there are no saturdays free in september.
FALCON, I did 1 more block today..read preventive medicine and immediately solved q's - scored 37% .. then did a block of rheumat.. of which i had already done a block .. and scored 69% .. so apparently, questions help me more than theory.
As much as I would like to do 2 reads for uworld, there's no time..so I am just going to do NBME after that, and revise as many topics as possible from first aid... depending on my weak areas.
hope nbme comes reassuring,, else I don't think I have a back-up plan ... or I can't think of one.

One thing i can tell you is that step2 is a completely different exam from step1. Much more vague. It really focuses on an ability to judge; to be able to choose from a group of closely related possibilities. Thats why doing a lot of questions really helps with this exam. Sharpens such skills and keeps them in good condition. Its very very important to focus on doing fresh questions right up to the exam day in alliance with memorizing new information. Depending totally on factual information will not help a great deal with this exam. Dont give up on the questions. They are the most important mix to your prep. Good luck!
