just took that durned exam today. it was HARD! a lot harder than Step I!! i do hope i passed it. i hope i don't end up regretting the fact that i studied so little for it, thinking i knew stuff! man, it was torture getting through that and realizing i had no clue on quite a bit of stuff, or so it seemed.

usmleworld.com was definitely better than kaplan qbank. i thought those questions were hard and was hoping step II would be easier, but i was wrong.

aack, hope i don't have to retake it!
 
If you're an allopathic US med stud, you'll do fine. At least that's what all the 4th years tell me. And, if the good ol' rules of 2's applies: 2 months for step 1, 2 weeks for step 2, and bring a #2 for step 3. 😀

I'm sure you did fine if you if you passed step 1.

I hear you loud and clear. I took mine on Dec. 21 and felt the exact same way you do right now. Hopefully we passed and will never have to do that again. Good luck.
