I used the Anki flashcard decks written by Reddit users Dorian and DocZay and created cards for concepts included in CMS forms and UWorld that weren’t in these decks. I used Anki throughout medical school and included it in my study plan for Step 2 CK. Spaced repetition is the best way to retain information. Still, the content is high yield, and – more importantly – they helped me get accustomed to the cadence and format of the exam. I did not find the scoring to be consistent. Set aside a couple of days to do these and review them. All of these practice tests are great ways to simulate the Step 2 CK exam experience. The UWorld Standardized Assessments (UWSA) are two practice tests written by UWorld. The Clinical Medicine Self-Assessment (CMS) forms are written by the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME). Practice exams – NBME CMS forms and UWSAs UWorld has over 3,900 practice questions with high-yield explanations for Step 2 CK and shelf exams, and its performance function allows you to track your progress and address your weak subject areas.Ģ. I did two-and-a-half passes of UWorld: one pass during my third year for shelf/clerkship exams, another complete pass during my 1-month dedicated period. Almost everything you need to know for Step 2 CK is on UWorld. The UWorld question banks are trusted by students everywhere. This is simply what worked for me and I hope that it will work for you too! As a quick disclaimer, I am not affiliated with any of these resources and I do not personally benefit in any way from recommending their use. These resources may not work for everyone, but these are the resources that helped me score in the 99th percentile on Step 2 CK. To save other students from agonizing over the decision as I did and hopefully steer people in the right direction, I have listed my five most trusted resources for studying for Step 2 CK. Well, in the end, I was actually able to score a 275 on my exam so I guess I did something right! On the other hand, choosing too many resources would be overwhelming, and I’d never make it through each resource in its entirety. On the one hand, if I picked too few resources, I wouldn’t be exposed to all the material tested on the exam. So, when I had to choose which study resources to use for USMLE Step 2 CK studying, I agonized over the decision.
I’m the kind of person who will take 20 minutes to decide what to order off a menu with only one food option.
