hi,

please share ur feedback on this ....

i am doing Kapln Vedio Lecture >>>

my Question is are these lectures a good alternative for

Kaplan lecture notes in book form ?? i make my own notes while hearing vedio lectures >>

so is it possible i can skip kaplan books or still i have to read books....

2).. which subjects are a must to listen from vedio lectures...

thanks for ur input

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

that is what exactly i am doing. and i hope it works in the examgrin

Hi toronto,
Can u pls tell me from where I can get the 2CK Kaplan notes? I downloaded the books for step 1 some time back but I still couldn't find the link to CK notes.
Thanks in advance. And how many subjects are there?

  #13

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!

hi,

some senior guru on PM advised to do CRUSH THE BOARDS AND UW Qs.... that is enough for

people who are working.

... he got 97 % .... any ideas


  #15

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.

pipi,

when are u taking exam ... any suggestions

i m planning by end of september


  #17

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?!?!
