I've pretty much read all the kaplan books but I feel like I've forgotten a lot of the material already and I dread the thought of having to read them again. so my plan is to watch the kaplan Highlight series with the notes for it. Its all the same profs that just teach what they call there high yield info for each topic and a set of notes that go with each topic. Should take about 3 days to get through all of them.

Then I plan on doing all of USMLE world and reading first aid cover to cover.

Finish up with an NBME exam to see where I stand to work on my weak spots.

Any advice??
Thanks
 
It seems like you are studying for this more like it is Step I. You don't need to read a million pages for this thing. A question bank and QUICK book like Crush or Secrets will be adequate. Many of the questions rely on your clinical judgement which you have developed over the past year - not on rote (like step I).

ok, good. im just gonna do crush + usmle world to fill in the blanks since i know crush can be totally superficial at times. i was starting to get a little freaked out after i saw everyone swearing by FA for step 2 but i think the crush/UW combo will be ok.
