I was also wondering how the majority of third years plan to study for and conquer this test. It seems like the strategies for Step 1 studying are pretty uniform as most U.S. students take it during the summer months. However, with Step 2, there are those who delay for as long as possible, while others take it earlier for other reasons. How many weeks of uninterrupted study are needed to be equivalent to the 5 weeks or so needed for Step 1 study? Would studying for and taking the test during a 1 month vacation slot at the end of third year be sufficient to do well? Thanks.
 
what about resources...I'll be using step up to usmle II and USMLEWorld and maybe Secrets...other than that I don't know?

is anybody getting a separate book for certain subjects...namely pharm or microbiology?
 
I'm hoping to take a month off at the beginning of 4th year and study for CK and work on my applications and then start sub-Is after that. I want to take CK while 3rd year is still nice and fresh. I'm going to do world and I haven't settled on a book yet.
