How to Study for USMLE Step 2 CK

[@ManuelGutierrez-zb5xm]

Great video, and as someone who went trough step 1 and is currently studying for step 2 I completely agree with this guy, to the point it almost seems strange how much I agree. Anyone studying for step 2, this is solid advice guys, definitely a great plan to not just pass but to also do well. I have been doing the same thing and after 1 pass trough Uworld, step up and DIT i am above the 220's. I am going to do it ALL again to hopefully hit the 240's. Motivation and being happy are a central lesson I got from step 1 and was super happy to seem him mention it (those are very WISE words people), again this guy is 100% on the money. Good luck everyone!

[@dr.atouisttx]

Do not worry about your friends who are going at the speed of light! Golden advice xDDD

[@HindEnLigne]

You're getting less views on your last videos but please don't let that stop you from sharing your knowledge!! You're not any less inspiring and we love to get updates from your path through medicine even if it has to be once every year :) !

[@kushkarma7081]

i concur

[@anoop.puskoor]

lol wut...is that a real statistic?

[@victoryw.o1920]

Abdullah Al-Shimri that’s a highly inaccurate statistic. Most of us IMGs do just fine and even better than AMGs FYI. Watch the video and keep quiet please 🙄

[@Slappyhappychap]

Just took step 2 yesterday. Such great advice. Timing is half the game (if not more) on step 2. Great advice

[@yaraalyazouri2710]

T Ch how long did you study for it? Is 4 months enough on base of 5hours studing aday :)

[@Ahmad-vu8uj]

Let's keep moving forward. I like the way you simplify things and it really makes sense. THANK YOU

[@luchie621]

God, you're HILARIOUS!!! I'm currently prepping to sit the Step 1 as an International Medical Student, but I found myself looking at your Step 2 videos. I'm going to check your Step 1 video 💃🏽💃🏽

[@LJStability]

Great video. I used anki to make my flashcards on the UWorld information. Great way to review.

[@annalisawilson7694]

Best video I have seen on CK so far.

[@delasoul2875]

Thank you, I was freaking out about how to prepare for step 2ck, I'm going to follow this method. Thanks.

[@bakor9935]

Hi. thanks for these recommendations! So, finally UWORLD seems better than Kaplan Qbanks?

[@waleedm9638]

Awesome video as always man! Happy you are back to making videos. I wish this video was available before my step2CK prep, it would have saved me from a lot of the stress and uncertainty

[@shenaorellana7675]

I love your plan; it's so simple. Complexity is the enemy of execution, said some very wise person once. I am just curious how long was your dedicated Step 2 study time.

[@fatimafarooqbhatti2100]

You are saviour. I have followed you and Andrea Tooley through out my medical school. And now I'm about to finish my MBBS. Thanks a lot!

[@bk1968]

Thankyou appreciate your attitude forsure

[@mrbazoun]

your advice is presented in such a wonderful manner. thank you for easing some of my anxiety regarding this important test.

[@psal1291]

This video helped me SO much! Thank you! I was struggling to find a good ck source. Going through so many books, it was so overwhelming. I'm going to stick to one, and use uworld as my main source.

[@yassinekilani1468]

I'm having the same problem here, can you please tell me which resource did you choose (apart from UW) ?

[@hraza2222]

Yep, people always skip questions and go for lecture notes instead. Its the wrong way to approach it

[@SAnode1]

Omg!This is really good! Thank you so much for your advice! :)

[@ichephren]

Yay you're back! Can you make a video about how resources for 3rd year shelf exams and how to study for each block?

[@USMLE1to1]

Great video. I followed your way and aced the test. Now, I am also a USMLE tutor! :D

[@anelisevg]

what do you think about doing uw system based?

[@andrewfahim7161]

This is fantastic man! Thanks for all the tips!

[@haozhe]

hi Dr Ossareh! really enjoyed your videos. was wondering if you're planning to make a video study guide for Step 3 in the near future. Thanks!

[@dreammedico3494]

Your videos are amazing as always Need a video about the best way to prepare for the shelf exam please

[@vnagubandi11]

Can you please make a short video on how you have taken the step 2ck in terms of test taking strategies? Thank you

[@ahteshamsabir5784]

fantastic ...I really really like this vedio ..I was going to study for CK n was confused as hell how to study...what resources etc....you made my life easy man ...thank you

[@esr10503]

very nice and authentic advice, thanks

[@nadaboom]

That was a really good video man. You're a good orator and I love your no BS approach! Just to confirm. As you were going through the question explanations, you would read on that particular topic every time you would read a question explanation? Thanks so much again for this solid vid!

[@anthonyparker4827]

How many weeks did you dedicate to study for Step 2 CK?

[@bandanthapa]

aww!!! thank you doctor.. awesome, i feel like i will study more .. thank you...

[@abdulhaq5997]

Great video! Which one would you recommend, Step Up CK or Master the boards? also did you use any online med ed?

[@runnerm3]

Great advice how do you keep from forgetting the pervious material though...do you use flashcards or just review what you wrote. Thanks!!

[@shadyelnaggar]

Thank you so much for such fascinating video, I have a little problem in performing the plan, which is: There are not enough spaces in STEP UP book to right down UWorld notes, I tried but it became so crowded, I tried to put papers with the notes written in in the book but it took a lot of time. So I decided to write down UWorld notes in a separate notebook, what do you think about that?? and thanks in advance...

[@ibrahim3522]

Why isn’t surgery in step up or first aid for step 2 ck.It is on the test but nothing in either books.can u please help me out where do I study surgery from

[@wadesonecent2331]

thanxx alot brother, great advice!

[@ccmmoopp45]

please my cousin is now a doctor graduated from France and he wants to study psychiatry in the us what are the procedures?

[@stephmed1154]

thank you

[@TFreshour08]

Emma Holiday videos are now no longer available to the public. MedEd videos are no longer available for the public. All before I take CK... It is like the world is trying to tell me something.

[@sohrab_iq8161]

Welcome back doc. :)

[@margaritasbrutus7431]

Thanks so much for the tips...

[@ramasubramanianpommi6729]

really very helpful man ur videos. thank u

[@alexaomview]

Even though Im not studying for Step 2, the equivalent to that test in México is ENARM, I think your method applies to the one I have been doing, let's see how that works in a few months :P

[@srimansaumyaranjansahoo6065]

Sir cn i use fa step 2 ck 🙏🙏plz recoomend sir🤔🤔

[@nadiaahsan570]

hi! when you did the uworld blocks, did you do mixed questions or subject by subject?? I'm doing my blocks timed, however I'm going subject-wise...i.e starting with Medicine...I would create blocks of pulmonary...then GI..etc. I'm not sure what would be a better idea doing them subject-wise or a mixed mode?? how did you do it? thanks! liked your advice in this video.

[@khareo3580]

Can you please answer this question from Nadia because I have the same question for you. Did you focus on sections like internal med? ob/gyn etc or just mixed it all at once.

[@soniasun1]

Thank you so much for all the information. Your videos are extremely helpful and life saving. Could you please mention any useful resources for european students (especially UK)? Or direct me towards any other youtuber. Thank you :)

[@raadalawamleh9420]

is it okay to do as low as 25 qs at my beginning? I feel depressed. I feel I am slow it takes me around 8 hours. I need advice. I read every single word . would my rate change as I a go further

[@piercesony4234]

did you add all the charts in the book

[@DrAditi_Life]

Somewhat similar to what I did. Feeling good

[@Polilladel86]

Thank you!!! I couldn't agree more. If it's not too much to ask, how long did it take you to do this, approximately? Thank you again :)

[@HarshPatel27]

What's the difference between step up to Ck and Step up to Medicine?

[@zenci21]

What is your suggestion concerning the books? Im focus on one book! Master the board! Any feedback or suggestion on how work along uWorld and MTB? Thank you.

[@adammazen6359]

What are your thoughts on replacing writing writing in the book with creaking an Anki deck?

[@JavierGarcia-ox1ux]

Great video thanks!! So im also doing UWorld. What was your average score progression in the qbank? Also im taking SOO LONG reviewing each block... any advice?

[@zenci21]

How many for every single block in UWorld? Thanks

[@DocOssareh]

Always 40 questions! Imitate the real exam!

[@sanjanathota9248]

Hey! Really great info...super useful...but like how long did you take preparing for the step 2 ck before you took the actually test?

[@harrynonez8893]

what are some test taking strategies youve learned? im struggling with that

[@chisin4eva]

where can i buy uworld qbanks from?

[@pedrovazcustodio1737]

How many questions did you use in each block?

[@mohammedh95021]

thank you so much ,,,,Do I need to do more than one uworld ?

[@1shilparaju]

Thank You very much for the inspiring video. We dont mind it if its a long video as long as its informative. Is it enough to pick the 30 day u world q bank or should we go for something more?

[@srq6666]

+Shilpa Raju I think at least 3 months.

[@lilulopez5524]

thank you!

[@harrypatel4749]

What about first aid 2ck?

[@R153_UP]

inspiring video.....

[@hamayasin3084]

Love you but I’ve a question I have UWorld offline bcz I can’t buy it so is it useless

[@SanA-ex7gy]

I am so happy that you came back :)

[@myszkaJagi]

hahaha I just found out I passed step 1 two days ago so i'm ready for CK now and I was like "Ok, i'm going to read all of step up to medicine and then do uWORLD" and then I see your remark at 7:20 haha

[@JujuChalak]

If I'd have to give at least 2 hours a day to do 2 to 3 blocks of qbanks will I still have enough time to study lectures I took in the day?

[@sabaelhag3582]

I would to ask about timing how many monthes do you study for the exam .I would like to take the exam but am very afraid and confused? need your help

[@ravnal5563]

Thanks for the review. Can you share how long you took to study for CK Step 2

[@2charlin]

What about First Aid 2CK O_O

[@luchie621]

Christa Harlin check the description box. He listed it there

[@vnagubandi11]

Thanks so much bro! Whats ur opinion on step up to medicine? Can it replace step up to step 2 ck? I know it's ur opinion but i would appreciate if u can share ur thoughts.

[@centygal]

Where do I take the test for Step CK and CS? I am in Fiji. Can I take it in Australia or it has to be taken in US?

[@MrDarklord91]

how much did you score on your boards - via YTPak(.com)

[@khadijasaleem891]

[@pradeepkumar-hy9vl]

[@zenci21]

Timed or tutorial mode?

[@DocOssareh]

Always timed! Imitate the real exam!

[@kushkarma7081]

what did you match into sir? IM im guessing?

[@GuitarGalNid]

He matched into neurology

[@miguelmaturana8757]

You are amazing

[@ivanlde91]

How long did it take you to study

[@hchitluri]

can we use first aid instead of step up?

[@56warlord]

i started my prep about 15 days ago..and i am trying to follow your approach of studying.. and i literally cannot complete a full block of 45 questions in one day. my maximum was 30. what should i do bro?

[@KARISSIER]

Hi, I feel the same way. I started my prep about 2 months ago, and use this approach to studying. Uworld Q bank; one text book that I annotate. Even with a full day of studying I cant do more that 30-40 questions thoroughly a day. It very discouraging as I feel as though I'm moving soo slow. I really dont know how people are doing 2 - 3 blocks of questions per day.

[@catiehall2978]

BUMP same problem exactly. So depressing! Was really excited about trying this method.

[@farfar7773]

Hello, so for getting access to question bank we should subscribe in uworld site?

[@sanyasweet7672]

Can u tell me when to give step 1 and step 2 in which years of mbbs

[@SurvivingMedicalSchool101]

Hey, I'm a 2nd year medical student from India. And I absolutely love your videos. They are very informative and motivational:) Your channel has inspired me to start my own. So if you had time, I'd be delighted if you could check it out. Nonetheless just wanted to say thanks for all the amazing advice:)
