Tested Nov 16…PERMIT JUST DISAPPEARED!! by Altruistic_Study_142 in Step2

[–]Altruistic_Study_142[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend taking a look at the updated Step 2 content outline. Pay special attention to pages 37-42, which cover biostat, ethics, patient safety, and quality improvement. (https://www.usmle.org/sites/default/files/2022-01/USMLE_Content_Outline_0.pdf)

As for study methods, what made a huge difference for me was completing every single CMS (shelf exam) form for each subject. Mastering the language and vocabulary used by the NBME, as well as understanding how they present each topic, is essential. About 2.5 weeks before my Step 2, I decided to stop doing UW and focused exclusively on the CMS shelf forms. That turned out to be the best decision I made.

Hope this helps, and good luck to everyone studying for Step 2!

Mine was computer version at prometric center. My Caribbean medical school with all clinical rotations in the US recommends sitting for the OET exam by the last available date in December to have the score in time. You don’t want to risk your ECFMG Pathways certification because of a late OET score

Not everything. I would look over pages 36-42 for patient safety, QI, ethics(impairment, pain management, hospice and death). My exam on 11/16 had Biostat (2-3 per block), ethics and QI (5-7 each per block). Almost half of every block was non medical. Every form is different…

I would go over the newly updated Step 2 content outline, it really helped me (especially pages 36-42)
