I'm trying to study for step 2CK. I had trouble with step I, and initially I studied poorly for step 2cK, basically just reading Kaplan notes but not taking any notes, so I forgot most of the stuff read. I've begun re-reading stuff and have read the notes a few times, have to finish up though, and taking notes.

I read very slowly and it's difficult for me to finish.

Can someone please help me out with a normal study plan? It seems like people don't study a great deal, I've been studying for months and it seems I don't remember the information.

I've been using USMLEWorld.

Can anyone suggest a decent study plan or how you studied and did on step 2? anyone help would be appreciated, I feel very overwhelmed right now.

I'm also starting to feel overwhelmed. I'm coming back from a long vacation from 4th year since basically ending 3rd year. I'm taking CK in 2 months and I haven't started studying for it yet. I plan to start now but for the next 2 months, I am also doing rotations so I won't have time dedicate to only studying for CK.

I'm definitely planning on using Secrets, UWorld, Pestana review, Master the Boards Step 3.

I am a bit worried because I feel like I forgot everything from 3rd year. I originally also wanted to use Kaplan notes and review Step Up to Medicine, but I'm afraid I won't have time for that. So I am wondering, if I only use the 4 resources above, would I be okay? ...or should I also try to review Step Up to Medicine since Medicine is a big part of the exam?
