- Today, I go through my exact schedule for studying for STEP 2 CK (from scratch!). I hope that this episode is a helpful reference/guide for you to return to when you are making your dedicated period schedule. I also go through what my day-to-day schedule actually looked like and what other resources I used (divine intervention, amboss, etc.). Good luck and work hard!

Thank you I’m about to go into my dedicated starting next week and this video is extremely helpful! It’s no secret that practice makes perfect but 1000 uworld questions a week sounds really intimidating 😅
It's a lot of work, but if you can block out all other distractions and focus hard for 6 weeks, I'm sure you can do it! Good luck.
You unlocked the god mode for the exam.
Currently for Step2 with also a 6 week period. Amazing video! Thank you so so much really great advice
Good luck, you'll crush it!
Hi! Just wondering, were you able to go through the qbank for your shelf exams?
Hi! Yes-- I finished all of UW for the shelf exams. Then I reset UW before my step 2 dedicated. If you want to see how I spaced out my questions, check out my other video on the shelf exams :) I also have a bunch of podcast episodes on clinical rotations if that would be helpful for you.
Do you recommend amboss ? Or any other rsource! Especially if one is starting right after step 1,
I used amboss library as a reference for extra details! I did not use any of their question banks outside of the few subjects I listed in the video.
awesome guys could you tell us what app you use to record this type of videos?
I recorded it with my iphone and my ipad!
Very informative video! Quick question, going through 2 blocks in 4 hours meant you took one hour to do the block and one hour to review. Can you expand on how you reviewed the block that quickly. I understand you took anki cards. Did you read the whole explanation (including the wrong answers) and make an anki card on your incorrects?
Thanks for the question! I would do the questions in "tutor mode", i.e. it would give me the answer after every question. 30s-1 min per question + 1-2 min to review the right answer before moving to the next question means I was able to go through each question in about 3-4 minutes. If I got the answer right/remembered the answer from my shelf exam studying, I wouldn't spend any time on it. I got ~70-75% correct, so I would only spend 3-4 minutes on the incorrects (~10 questions per block), and quickly review the rest. This allowed me to get through efficiently.
@@Navigatingmedicalschool Dam this makes alot of sense and cuts through time! Bless
@@BenjaminMaciel_MD Glad it helps!
@@Navigatingmedicalschool so to do and review 3 blocks in 5 hours in that 7-12pm time frame you aimed to get 24q done in a 50 min pomodoro (120q/5hrs)? Cus that’s even faster at a 40 min per block review rate as opposed to one hour per block.
@@gps000-r3t Sounds about right. I didn't spend much time on questions I got right/questions I remembered from shelf exams, so it went quickly!
You should make a video about how to go through Uworld
Definitely on my list! See the reply above on how I went through Uworld
Where you always an ANKI person? And if not, what deck did you do?
I made my own cards-- I did not use prior made decks!
@@Navigatingmedicalschool Ugh, I have 5 weeks. I dont think I'll be able to do that.
Did you review your Uworld blocks after doing them?
Yes! See response to comment above on how I reviewed
did you take the NBMEs online or the offline pdfs?
I took the online NBMEs! they are the most updated, so I don't recommend doing older offline ones.
