Hey all, I'm planning to take step two at the end of my 3rd year and wondering how long I should plan for dedicated study time. I'll be finishing up with my surgery and Ob/Gyn rotations/NBMEs.

Step1: 269 after dedicated study of 6.5 weeks
FM/Peds/Neuro/Psych NBMEs>90%, IM>85%
Uworld percentile is 84% (but I've been doing untimed, subject-specific blocks with each rotation, and this includes some redos from missed/marked questions)

TIA!

UPDATE for future readers:
2.5 weeks of dedicated time
277 on step2CK

Congrats on the awesome score! Did you use any other resources during 3rd year…anki, BnB, OME, Amboss, etc?

I used Anking- but I was horrible at actually keeping up with reviews and I never finished any of the decks. I made my own deck from my missed/confusing Uworld questions that I kept up with.

I did UWorld along with each rotation/as preparation for my NBMEs. I did buy a practice NBME for IM/neuro/surgery/ob prior to those shelves. No other resources though, too cheap for that
