Has anyone tried the Kaplan Live Prep USMLE Step 2 CK course which is 6 weeks long? Is it worth it? As mentioned before, I would like to ACE Step 2. Currently, if you see from my previous posts, I am trying to put together different combos of books together to see what would be best to do well on USMLE Step 2. The Kaplan books seemed pretty well geared toward Step 1. I was wondering whether I should do the Live Prep course or the Center Prep videos. The books are pretty small in comparison for Step 2. So here are different options. Realize that I have learned absolutely nothing from my clerkships, so I am essentially starting from scratch:

1. Kaplan books + Videos + questions
2. Kaplan books + Live Prep lectures + questions
3. Kaplan books + Videos + Live Prep lectures + questions
4. Blueprints series + questions
5. NMS Series + questions
6. Read texts for each clerkship + Review books + questions

Any help is appreciated from anyone. 😕 😕 😕
 
hey lovella, i am also studying for step 2 as well, do you want to review online together or anything like that. My AIM and email are khiladi32 and [email protected]
 
kaplan books are good, but their peds notes are an over kill. you are better off doing blue prints for peds. it`s just my opinion. 😎
 
right now i'm doing the kaplan notes and qbank...
i feel like the crush is just an super-abridged version...all the info is in kaplan...mebbe look at it when i need to go through it in a day...

man i want to do well, but i'm getting 76% right on qbank...my friend said she was getting 75-80 and ended up getting a 225...i kinda want to do better...but how?
