Let me begin by saying that I know nothing can replace good hard work during weeks of studying.
Now, a little bit of Context. IMG, Step 1 Passed (227). A little over a year ago I registered for Step 2CK and Step 2CS and planned to take both during 2018. Long story short, 2018 was a terrible year for me on the Personal/Family level in life and have been fighting depression and anxiety/panic attacks. These issues, which I have been attending to with my Psychiatrist for over a year, prevented me from having an adequate studying routine and I ended up cancelling Step 2CK (which I had planed to give in November), and wanted to cancel Step 2 CS.
I have my test for the 7th of January. I did not cancel the CS because I had already wasted a lot of money on the CK and currently money is not readily available for me, and so I decided to try and pull out CS somehow. Its less than a week away now and I feel like I know nothing. Moreover I have barely practiced cases given that not many friends of mine speak english enough to pull off the whole "Standarized Patient" role. The only resoursce I have been using is First Aid and some practice cases with a friend who is at the moment in other city. I know there is a high chance of me failing this test. I know there is no easy way out, there is just study and hard work in order to pass the Steps. I wish I could simply cancel, but I really have no choice.
I wonder if any of you have any advice (besides telling me to cancel, which I simply can't) or tips, or anything that can help me out in my time of need.
