How I scored 93rd Percentile in My USMLE Step 2 CK in 2023| My Journey, Resources and Strategy

[@DrUjjwalSoni]

Hey Guys ! For Divine Intervention Podcasts, I am sharing the link of the document where Divine himself has recommended high yield episodes to listen to. I referred to this document and listened to all the recommended ones. They are MUST DO. Other than that I listened to some rapid review ep in my free time. I also listened to some ep on specific topics I thought I was weak at and needed more clarity. There is also an Excel sheet on his website where ep number and topic are mentioned. I am putting the link here docs.google.com/document/d/1B_SmwkYiKWcbITbHlkfHYgbE3pDmH7ue docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OYaJUxVpp9DbbPgmfTMBizKiypIG9ro2LuTJ_SH61aI/edit#gid=1207744908

Great video!!! Very few people take out time to help others and I am glad you are doing this This video is going to help so many students❤ Super proud of you!

[@ishitasalooja4013]

Your content is unique in the sense that it gives you an exact streamlined idea of where to start and how to plan your own timeline. Your twitter post and the exact way you approached UWorld is what I have been using and getting consistent improvement with 😊 thank you!

[@srana5049]

Thank you so much. Very informative.

[@UtkarshDayal]

Great video buddy! And A big applause for stepping into the KZbin world! Looking forward to see more videos where you share your experiences, which will undoubtedly guide and motivate countless med students. Here's to your new adventure and the lives you'll touch along the way. Best of luck!

[@usmlestudy-w4v]

Hey! If possible could you share with your last few step 1 NBME percentages? I just took step 1 last month and my last NBMEs were 73,74,77. In the scored era step 1 score was ultra predictive of step 2 score. 77% is only 228 lol, so I wonder if I have to do strong content review like boards and beyond for step 2 to get into the 260 range. Only poblem is I don't want to prep inefficiently and waste time. Would appreciate your thoughts thanks!

[@Anmolkhuranaa]

Very informative 🙌🏻

[@DrUjjwalSoni]

Hahah ! I booked Radisson. It is just in front of the prometric centre at a walking distance. Country inn can also be a good option which is 10 mins away

Where did you take your test taking strategies at? Is it online or? If you can say something about it :)

[@DrUjjwalSoni]

Yes I took really expensive online courses which I'd NOT at all recommend. I shall make a video on that and share all the insights on test taking soon.

[@Akash59926]

Sir what if I fail the ck exam. When can i give my next attempt for ck?

[@DrUjjwalSoni]

You will have to register for it again after you get your result !! But it is advisable to pass these exams in single attempt so only take them once you are well prepared!

Yes !! The exam can only be retaken if you fail. Scores cannot be improved

[@srishteegautam6141]

@@DrUjjwalSoni I am planning of giving them , so what should I keep in mind ? That it can be taken only once ? And the step 1 needs to be passed and step 2 is once a lifetime thing and its score once is sacrosanct ?

Hello Dr. Soni, hope you are well! I've been loving your content! I had a question how I can score 250+ on my step 2, I am an American med student in my 3rd year. Im not the smartest student but I have over 7 months still until test day, what advice would you tell me to do since I am already doing uworld questions for shelf exams.

[@DrUjjwalSoni]

Hey, I have made two strategy videos on USMLE. I think if you read notes, annotate them while solving Uworld for youe shelf exams you will be in a pretty good place. Refer to strategy Part 1 video. Hope it helps :)
