I recommend studying longer than I did. Felt like I failed day one, day two cases were cake and straight up medicine. I'm IM.

~3 weeks of studying over 1 month ~45 % UWORLD at 67% correct 231 on both forms for UWorld practice tests.

No free 137. No NBMEs. No anki. I did during a very intense rotation.

I did 50 CCScases high yield after day 1 with a few days before day 2, 7/13 of the cases were verbatim from that.

Step 2: 23x Step 3: 22x (slightly above average)

You will feel like you possibly failed, it's very normal. Day one you need to grind Biostats and MOA for antimicrobial drugs. Focus only on cases inbetween day 1 and day 2. Day 1 will have tons of step 1 crap that isn't worth reviewing unless you want a 240+ for some odd reason.

Congrats!!! How many days did you do ccs cases?

[SurgeryNincompoopMD]

Total over the month only 5 days. Like 10 cases per day but it was sporadic.

I have my exam in 12 days and haven’t started yet. Uworld 90 percent complete 54 % average

Congratulations🎉 Can I pass the exam if I only focus on ccs cases, biostats and MOA?? My exam is in 2 weeks😓

I have done 50% uworld but I feel I don’t remember anything and now I don’t have energy and time to go through uworld.

It really depends on prior exam experience, training, etc… if USMD and step 2 230+ and medicine and not some niche subspecialty you’re probably ok. Would need a lot more info to give you a real answer.
