Number of times to do USMLEWorld?

Studying for Step 2, shooting for ~240 after high 220s on Step 1. Will doing USMLEWorld twice and studying FA for Step 2 be enough? Or should I do UW one more time? Or should I read Secrets?

Also, I was thinking about using Goljan's audio lectures (those from Step 1) and his Rapid Review Pathology book in addition to FA. Did they help any of you?

Let me know what you guys think.

wow. i mean, like, WOW. i read the OB and peds sections in FA. read the parts of secrets that i was crap at (surgical subspecialties). ended up doing 49% of UW - i tried to do questions on topics i wasn't good at first, then i mixed everything up. i studied 12h a day for about 10d (thanksgiving was 3 of those days). i kinda didn't care about my score since my step 1 was decent enough, but i got a 251. you'll do awesome. seriously, just review the things you didn't actually learn last year. the hardest part, i think, is remembering how to take that stupid test which UW will solve.
