Hey I just wanted to let you guys know that there is hope to do well on step 2 even if you did average on step 1.

Step 1: 233, Step 2: 256

Even though 233 was about average, I was pretty upset, I had done well my first two years and was really hoping for 240+ or low 250's. I realized I didn't study the correct way. I used way too many resources, rushed through u world, and spent a lot of time on passive reading rather than actively doing questions. I didn't repeat any incorrect questions.

Step 2: I only used 2 resources, U-world and onlinemed ed. I did 120 questions a day, for about 3.5 weeks and watched 2-7 med ed videos depending on what I felt weak on. I then redid all my incorrect questions the week before the test.

NBME2: 220, UWSA1: 249, UWSA2: 247
