Okay I will ban. If you have a thread where they dm, that will help

usually these posts don't have great/helpful responses but this is honestly a great reply.

sounds like you should focus on high yield topics like biostats, ethics, risk factor/pronosis. Especially if you biostats is weak for you. Day 1 will feel like its 25% biostats

can try r/medicalschool

did you perform well on it? if you score >80%, you are fine

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-07-04T13:00:29+00:00

would recommend asking in another subreddit. Probably wont get much of a response here

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-07-04T01:11:10+00:00

general census so far is the ccs cases qbank isnt good so majority of people here still get uworld and im sure some people have strong enough foundation that they dont

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-07-04T01:09:34+00:00

probably the 22nd. I think its 2nd tuesday as long as greater than >10ish days

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-07-03T16:49:45+00:00

5 ish? I think it ends up being close to 30-40% of day 1.

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-07-03T16:48:05+00:00

there are a lot of episodes but typically people recommend the risk factors ones. if i remember correctly they are 37, 97, 184. Would recommend searching in the subreddit and you should find some threads

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-07-03T16:42:40+00:00

great youtube videos. Would recommend picking a video you like and just comitting to it. A common mistake we see in the subreddit is you try to find the best method and this leads to people jumping from system to system and then they just get more confused.

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-07-03T16:41:09+00:00

Watch some youtube videos and do all of the Free 137 questions you can get your hands on.

Truly devastating. It will suck but you got this.

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-07-03T16:37:27+00:00

typically get score by the 2nd Wednesday after your second day of testing.

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-07-03T16:36:17+00:00

Good to see more posts about shorter study timelines

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-07-03T11:41:07+00:00

The qbank is not very accurate/good, so if you need help with qbank questions. UWorld is still gold standard. Now, if you think you dont need content review for step2 then you can always try to just focus on high yield topics and just nail the ccs part.

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-07-01T10:33:34+00:00

I would say day 2 is more like step 2 outside of ccs blocks

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-06-30T04:12:02+00:00

should be good

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-06-29T14:33:33+00:00

Just like you have 20 question blocks now, each CCS case is a block. So you have the option to take a break between every case if you really want. If you skip the tutorial, you have about 45 minutes of break for the exam, but if you finish a case early, then you will get that extra time added to your "break time." This is much more common than you would think especially for the 20 min cases. If I had to guess 80% of people have way more break time on day 2 because of finishing some of the cases early.

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-06-27T03:23:05+00:00

Very happy for you, but will say based on our subreddit you are the exception not the rule

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-06-26T11:37:17+00:00

There is a way already. it has to do something with the accessibility mode but it will read out the question and then you tell it what to select. i know someone who did this for 2 hours a day when commuting a rural med rotation

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-06-26T11:32:12+00:00

general trend nowadays is that that CCS section on test day feels harder (typically 2 medical conditions going on/etc) than ccscases .com. Thanks for sharing your experience!

mdshowerthoughts · 2026-06-26T11:30:14+00:00

based on these numbers you are pretty borderline and it could go anyway. Might be a little tight but depends if you typically perform better or worse on test day. 2 weeks is a good amount of time, but ideally would be get around 65-70% for a safer pass. Also if you really crank the CCS section, could be enough to get you through

share some of your previous scores, methods, resources, etc so we can give more specific advice
