I would only recommend doing it BEFORE uworld and only if you have enough time for it. I found it worthwhile though because it helped a great deal for me for time management. Questions are longer and I believe they help you practice time management. – Low yield qbank, felt more difficult than uworld. I think they work best if you read them before tackling uworld and then keep reviewing them while working on the qbank(s). They may be overhyped a little bit and are not a panacea but I believe they are an excellent companion for uworld. The newer videos may be worth it, as with Kaplan talk to somebody that has taken a newer course. Repeating topics once again from Kaplan I think it did help, but in general I would suggest avoiding these videos altogether except for subjects you may feel weak in. On the contrary I did not find these 2011 videos too helpful or high yield to be honest. – I used DIT for step 1 and thought it was worth the boredom.

Doctors in Training (DIT) (old videos, 2011 I think).

I read newer lecture notes, they are well written but lengthy.

I do not know if these videos are updated now, but may be worth checking out if you have plenty of time to study, try to contact somebody that has purchased the new ones see if they are worth it. – These videos are low yield and outdated, the only ones I consider worth watching are gynecology/obstetrics and surgery.

Kaplan lecture notes and videos (old 2007 videos) These are the materials I used in the order I used them (although there was some overlap):ġ. Length of preparation was 5-6 months and I started studying approximately 1-2 months after taking Step 1. (If you have not read the aforementioned book by Douglas Adams, it is a very fun book, full of satire and humor in the format of a very badly constructed sci-fi story.)īut I digress the purpose of this post is to tell you all about my exam prep, as an International Medical Graduate, and experience as briefly and accurately as possible. These words resonated through my mind while I was preparing for Step 2 CK and just like in the novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, I wished that my CK books had these words inscribed on their covers “in large, friendly letters” just like in the electronic guide that is described in the book. This is a guest blog post featuring advice on Step 2CK preparation from the International Medical Graduate’s (IMG) perspective.
