I know that First Aid for Step II CS covers a wide range of cases from the 40 cases in the book...is this sufficient preparation for the exam? Not sure if I should use any other resources such as USMLE World CS to get exposure to more cases.

Anyone? Good reflection of the cases? Enough to pass the test?

First Aid is sufficient. The key is to practice a couple cases with a friend and write a couple notes during the allotted time. Also, don't forget the soft stuff like counseling on smoking cessation. I waited until the end of the encounter to do this and ended up forgetting on a few occasions. Good luck.

Second ted. You probably dont need ANY studying at all to pass this. That's risky.

You need only 2-3 days with First Aid CS (assuming you speak English and have done your cores at a US hospital). Going through them by yourself is enough. its better with a partner. I crushed First Aid CS in the car drive to houston and in the hotel the night before. Everything I did was far to the right of the grey bar, most things starred. I mean I literally raped that exam and I studied for 7 hours. Total.

Ugly choice of words.
