Hey everyone,
When I first started Step 2 prep, I felt totally lost drowning in UWorld, NBME forms, and random notes that didn’t connect. To stay afloat, I started making my own condensed high-yield notes. By the end, I had a system that turned into my lifeline.
A couple quick tips that helped me the most:
If anyone’s interested, I put all my notes into a single resource so others don’t have to reinvent the wheel. I’ll drop the link in the comments
Good luck with studying happy to answer questions about what worked for me!
I used amboss, uworld, all the NBMEs and Free120 here's an example of a few pages from the notes the full doc has about 400 pages

A couple quick tips that helped me the most:
- Don’t just memorize UWorld explanations — condense them into your own words.
- Focus on management algorithms (e.g., NSTEMI vs STEMI, Preeclampsia, Pediatric seizures). Those come up constantly.
- Review scoring systems regularly — CHA2DS2-VASc, Wells, TIMI — easy points if you’ve got them down cold.
