I am using Crush Step 2 and U/W for boards. I have two weeks left. I have read Crush and I think that it was really bare. U/W has a lot of info that crush does not.

My question is to those who used both... how did u supplement all the info that was not in Crush? Did you write in everything that was in U/W?

I feel like I should go to FA.......

Input would be greatly appreciated!😎

yes I also thought it was too superficial,

I would go with Kaplan Notes and either FA or Kaplan USMLE master the boards step 3 by conrad fisher ( i know its step three but it actually has all you need for step 2 as well)

Very superficial. Read Crush as an overview, but spend the bulk of your focus on World and things with more detail.

I used B&W and Step II Secrets, which is essentially Crush written by the same people but in different format. I did, however, also use UW and scribbled notes from that to my Secrets.

I know it is supposedly the same info in different formats, but Step 2 Secrets seems a lot more useful and important to me than Crush. I read Crush and I feel like I am mostly wasting my time on something too superficial, but I read Secrets and I feel that I am covering important material I need to know.

If you want a more comprehensive book in addition to Secrets, I recommend Step Up to Step 2. I have read it and thought it covered a lot of important info (much, much more than Crush). Of course, USMLE World should be your main resource. 👍

Agree, which is why I looked at both and decided on Step II Secrets. Outline formatted, bulleted points just kill me. Secrets read like a book almost.

Didn't use Step Up to Step II, but Step Up to Medicine was gold.
