Step II Step II Study Regimen

[DrIsh]

Hello SDNerds...

I am going to be taking Step II in one month. I have the full month off to study (vacation month) and I was wondering if this was enough time to pass the exam. My plan is to do Case Files: OB/GYN and Peds (my weakest shelves), UWorld, Boards and Wards, and finally, First Aid.

Anything more you might recommend? Should I push the date back or will 1 month be plenty?

Thanks!

Assuming you have taken all the shelf exams, a month is more than enough.

A month is fine. But Case Files (my favorite for shelf exams) can be rough going for boards. It would take me a full day to get through one book, which seemed like an inefficient way to cover a topic, so I gave up. I used Step-Up Medicine, Crush, and Qbank, but your list sounds reasonable. I guess two Case Files isn't too onerous.
