Poor Shelf Score - Correlation to Step II CK

[SpringDO]

So I basically have not learned much on my rotations and shelfs dont count toward our rotation grades so I havent been doing well on shelves.

If I study hard now can I realistically take Step II end of June and do decent >220?

I plan to do uworld, DIT, Kaplan comprehensive videos (6-8 weeks)

Whatcya guys think?

shelves DID count toward my grades, thus I got poor grades during most of third year. My scores were as follows. The first is the scaled score (does not equal %correct though), and the parentheses are the percentile.

Surgery - 65 (20th)
Medicine - 82 (low 70's)
Psych - 96 (93rd)
Neuro - 78 (mid 60's)
OB/Gyn - 70 something (45th)
Peds - 86 (high 70's)

I had less than a week to prep for 2ck, so I bought just UW and did 2/3 of it for one pass. I ended up in the 260's on 2ck. For comparison, I studied for 3 weeks and got 250's on step 1. I think that 2ck is FAR easier than the shelves, and the grading is pretty lenient as well. UW all the way, you'll be fine. If you need more resources, people in my class seemed to like Kaplan's Master the Boards 2ck as well as Step 2 Secrets.

Thanks! This gives me hope of doing well.
