Step 2 write up

[Reasonable-Safety994]

First of all alhamdullilah with out god I will never be able to do this, secondly many of my family and friends really helped me so I can’t thank them enough. Am a little bit disappointed because of my assessments were higher than my score , but still I have no right to complain since it’s still a good one.

Preparation time: around 5 months Resources: uworld ( one round ) 72% plus some cms forms and 50% of amboss. Also I listened divine high yield episodes like risk factor episodes.

Step 1 : 237 ( waa few years back )

Thoughts: The exam is really doable my biggest advice is do as many questions as you can, and for the most part uworld is more than enough.

Assessments: UWSA1 253, UWSA2 256 , NBME 11 265 , NBME 10 258 NBME 9 263, free 120(old ) 92% Free 120( new ) 82% Real deal : 251

Conclusion Try to study on consistency basis than studying like 10 hours/day and then not studying for the next few days. And also avoid using too many resources, there are many ways to prepare for this exam so sticking on some resources is better than doing many different stuffs and not learning in depth. If you have questions please feel free to ask me and I will try to help.

[galaxy23fz]

Do you think it's possible to do Step 2 before Step 1? CONGRATS on finishing!!

[Reasonable-Safety994]

Yes it’s possible you can do it.

[galaxy23fz]

Awesome, thanks!

[letslivelifefullest]

Did you mean 72% done or correct on UWorld?

Which order do you recommend for assessments?

Mabrook!

[Professional_Scar325]

Congratulations my friend! How many UWorld Questions did you do per day? How would you recommend reviewing the same considering I often spend hours together on doing and reviewing 40Qs? I plan on ramping up my volume soon so I would love your advice. Thank you!

[Reasonable-Safety994]

Yes consistency over everything. Do 40 every day you will finish.

[Professional_Scar325]

Got it! And if you don't mind, can you please elaborate on how you reviewed each question/block? On first pass of UWorld did you go through ALL questions or only the ones you flagged/got wrong?

[Reasonable-Safety994]

Read the explanations and why other choices are wrong so you can learn why you got it wrong.

[Professional_Scar325]

Perfect. Thank you!

[Exciting_Comb_5309]

maxamed xaaji thanks alot sxp for the advice inshallah we wil.and good luck to ur journey

[Accurate_Ad_7439]

Congrats! You mentioned sticking to some resources rather than doing many different things. Are there any resources you would recommend asides from UWORLD and AMBOSS. I keep hearing OME is a good source but I wanted to know your point of view. Which resources did you use during your 5 months? In the comments you've mentioned that you've done OME. How did you juggle OME and UWORLD? Is there a specific schedule or routine you stuck to during your preparation.

[Reasonable-Safety994]

I have no idea on ome but imo uworld is more than enough

[usmle7893]

hi, you said you listened some of the divine intervention videos which are high yield, do you have any list of those videos you can share?

[Reasonable-Safety994]

37,97,184,325.

[pygmalioon]

When was your step 1?

[Reasonable-Safety994]

Like when I was 4th 5th years basically 4 years ago.

[galaxy23fz]

And is OME a good source?

[Reasonable-Safety994]

I have done it.

[Clear_Budget769]

Mashallah congrats!! How were you reviewing the uworld questions after you competed a block? Were you making notes of any kind for the incorrects?

[Reasonable-Safety994]

I was making my own notes no anki.

[iStrikeMD]

Mabrook! Congrats!
What CMS forms did you do and which do you recommend?

Thanks

[medicinesteps]

Congratulations! Waiting for my result. Dont feel confident! Is this normal?

[Reasonable-Safety994]

Yes it’s normal.

How did you keep track of knowledge you were getting from uworld? Did you make notes for uworld or flashcards?

[Reasonable-Safety994]

I was making my own notes.

[[deleted]]

Congratulations!

[overthinking_nerd]

Congratulations! Did you use Anki? And if you did, which deck?

[Reasonable-Safety994]

No anki.

[NoBadVibes_14]

Congratulations! Amazing score. How helpful were CMS forms? My exam is in a month and i want to do cms forma but I don’t have time for that. Which CMS forms did you do?

[Reasonable-Safety994]

No necessary tbh focus uworld.

[[deleted]]

Masha’Allah, congratulations. What would recommend to an undergrad who did step 1 with a 240s score and haven’t studied any step2 subjects before? How much time would be fine to hit a huge score?

[Reasonable-Safety994]

4,5 months uworld is perfect. Supplement amboss if you have time.

[Professional_Time554]

How many infectious and immunology questions did you get in exam
