When You want to to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you 'll be successful." failing the exams in 2 attempt made me want to give up but I wanted success, Exams don't test knowledge,rather test continuation, hard work, diligence and preservation. so I never gave up and passed the exam in my third attempt, failure isn't your portion..... inbox me if you want to know how I made it through the exam l'd be happy to help out.

Hey Ishwari: What is the relevance of doing CMS to NBME? How does it help? Thanks

[@srushtipatil6739]

Do you recommend First Aid for Step 2CK??

[@muskanirshad7122]

Do you add all subjects when ever you were making a system wise block ?

[@yousramer5590]

You used amboss systemwise or random??

[@IshwariChandran]

Random!

OMG I passed yesterday on my first attempt😲😲🥺🥺 I'm so excited💃💃🎊🎊🎉 you can Dm for tip, tricks and materials

[@trivikrammalladi7137]

So how long one should spend to prepare for step 2 ck?

[@IshwariChandran]

It depends on the amount of time you can dedicate for your step 2 CK prep every day. I took about 1 year (because I had uni lectures, exams, rotations) but I also know someone who has done it in 3 months.

[@trivikrammalladi7137]

@@IshwariChandran I got to know that you are an FMG from china if I am not wrong, what is the procedure that you have followed to get your USCE & did you gave your FMG exam or you directly decided to move to US as soon as you completed your internship at your university itself? Please guide me if you came back to india for your internship, as I am an FMG too from kazakhstan(graduation year 2020 july), currently doing my intern in india, thank you.

[@IshwariChandran]

You're right :) I was supposed to get USCE in Dec 2020-Feb 2021 but due to COVID, I wasnt able to travel. So, I chose to do telerotations. I havent taken the FMGE. (didnt do my internship in India)

It is okay to go with online MedEd with uw or doing divine intervention podcast instead ,thanks

[@IshwariChandran]

I used Divine Intervention Podcasts only for important topics + rapid review. So, idk how the podcasts for strengthening your basics are in comparison w online medEd. Also, choosing the resource depends on which teaching style you're more comfortable with :)

Is 243 in step-1 going to be a competitive score this year match cycle 2022-23???

[@IshwariChandran]

Hey! 240+ will def help you get through the filters of a lot of programs (some have cutoffs). However, scores are only a part of the application. Especially now since step 1 has become pass-fail, more importance may be given to step 2CK. Check the NRMP website for the average scores of matched applicants. :)

can u share any files which helped u for ur step2 ck

[@IshwariChandran]

It was kinda hard but definitely worth it since I didn't have to worry about it after graduation. I've spoken more about my study plan and timeline in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqjVkp1nrLCrjtE

Di is it true that we can't give exam after 2024?

[@IshwariChandran]

You can take the exam after 2024 as long as you create an ECFMG ID before 2024!
