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?

What is the pestana review?
 
How long did it take you to read the kaplan med book and how in depth did it go into it? IT's a monster!
