hi toronto, there are variations in the ways each lecturer do it. for example the surgery man just recites the book so you can write after him. while that of Gyna is not . he just tells u how to deal with Questions which is very important. in my opinion writing form lectutes only will make u lose some signficant details. for the second question Gyna and IM by Conrad Fischer are a must. some say Pyschiatry too but i still did not try it.

thanks dear, you mean to say that lecture notes and vedio lectures ( both should be done ) actually i was thinking about saving time to read book cuz i like to listen more rather than read . how about combining first aid or secrets and kaplan & UW questions with vedio lectures. regards

Time depends on concentration, goal, material...But I agree six months if you are working should be fine... Godafther, did you take already step 1? and what do you think about the time needed for that exam?I am taking step 2ck first, then cs and then hopefully step 1. Thanks and good luck!

Why I didn't get CD from usmle when I registered for the exam few weeks ago? I have heard that UW questions are really good, better than Kaplan , actually tougher.

I planned for September, but since I am excellent in procrastinating...I pushed it back to December 1st hopefully...somehow I imagine that date will work just fine for me (I will take week off for Thanskgiving from work and hopefully master CK then)... I don't think CRUSH and questions would be enough?!?!
