Hey, I too got 80 percentile in step 1 and wanna make up in step 2. Though, I have started right a week after step 1 (17th may). I am done with one reading of Kaplan medicine, Blueprints in Cardiology and Neurology. I am also done with main parts of Kaplan's Surgery and Gynaecology. Its a kinda fast review I had.

Then, I have restarted medicine, this time with chapterwise pre-test solving and doing chapters from CMDT. I also manage to solve Harrison's pre-test for those chapters. Till now, I am done with starting basic chapters and RS. Today, I am doing CVS.

While I am doing medicine most of the time, I also do remaining parts of Gynaec/Obs and plan to finish Pediatrics and Psychiatry in 10 days. Well, I am making it fast becuz I am taking the test in second week of august. You can go slow but I dont think wasting a single day now is worth! Just curious, if you wanna go for 2005 match. I will most probably try my best to go for the match.
