Finally done.....
Feeling a little tired.So will type whatever I can right now and the rest tommorow.
Found it resonably ok .That is what is really scaring me( I found step 1 difficult and scored well and my friend who found step2 CK easy did not score well).
About 50% UW World level.30% easy level.20%- can't figure out anything level.
40% IM
15% OBGY
15% PED
10% surgery
10% psych and stats
Guys and gals please answer a mock 9 hour test before taking this test- it is needed to built the mental stamina required for this test.
OK mine is over right now.C Ya in the morning....

My Uworld was between 60 %(intially)and 70%(later).I answered Kaplan simulated and it was 80%(2months before exam).
I am sorry ,I answered NBME offline.I think I got 167/184 in form 3 .About form 2 I am not sure about many of the answers but around 150/184.
Thank you all for your help and support especially Hero,MAB(plase tell me when are your exams) .All the best to everybody yet to answer.

Guys do you think our score reports(of those who have answered in July ) will be delayed because of the new exam software that they are introducing in August?

Ok so here are the details:
Prepared for 4 months( but answered the CS in between which took 15 days prep).
Read Kaplan notes 3 times.
Did Uworld , marked all the difficult and informative qs( not necessarily only the ones which I got wrong).Did those qs and again marked about 500 qs which have extra info and did those a third time.
Did NBME 1,2,3 offline( doing offline is basically no use but did 2 and 3 in 9 hours like the real exam so that I could get a feel of the real thing)
No other sources used.
Day before exam took half day off.Went to sleep early but was tossing in bed .Managed 4 hours of sleep.
Day of exam: reached early so started early.
Breaks:
3 min for orientation.
10 min after block 2
5 min after block 3
15 mins after 4
and 10 min breaks for the rest of the 3 breaks.
exam time is just enough.In step1 I used to get 20 in to revise,this time only about 10mins.Could not go through some of the qs which I had not marked.
What was different here is that about 30-40% qs were really easy,the kind you dont have to think at all.So that scares me cause I never got such qs. in step 1 and I somehow feel(please dont quote me) that this test is adaptive and depending on the way you answer in block 1 ,the next block difficulty is decided and so if you get difficult qs it means that you are doing well(please I know this may be nonsence- just my feeling) and vice versa.
Please feel free to ask any qs that you desire.
Best of luck to all....

USMLE Gladiator this is what you can do:
Type the following in your google search : Step 2CK NBME form 3 free
You will get many links to the offline form 3.
Hope that helps.
I did UWorld for 1 month.
Yes you can take form 2 for it to be really useful.
Bye and all the best
