Supermemo for Step 2 (great program)

Hey guys - U. of Utah (WEBPATH fame) students wrote out first aid for step 1 for this program called Supermemo. It's an awesome palm/pda program that quizzes you on calculated intervals for questions you program in, depending on how 'right or wrong' you get the answer. Bottom line - awesome program my roommate and I used to destroy step 1. I haven't found anything nearly as effective as this program but we need to do this for Step 2. I haven't seen anyone who has done this for Step 2 so I need people studying for this exam to take first aid and transcribe it into quesitons for Supermemo (myself included) then we share. I promise it will be worth your while! Any interest?

Requirements - willing to spend a day or two transcribing questions into a Word document in an easy specific format that I will convert into Supermemo question. That's all!

Replies here - starting this NOW. email me at [email protected] with SUPERMEMO in the title so I don't spam your email out.

I second Supermemo's utility. I used in for Step I and felt it contributed greatly to my score as well. I made my flash cards based of First Aid; wish I knew about Utah's website a few months ago. It was also pretty good for coursework.

I'm currently reading Boards and Wards for my rotations; I've got a surgery module created and want to work on ones for psychiatry and OB over the weekend.

I don't have anything to offer you, but I found that there is much less to memorize relative to Step I. A lot of the facts you need to have memorized are very basic -- what kind of drug is enalapril, what antibiotic covers anaerobes... Much of the test is interested in your clinical reasoning (hence the questions when people think two answers are equally acceptable because "you do them at the same time in the hospital") and not your factual regurgitation.

I used supermemo for both -- I had 8000 cards for Step I and less than a thousand for Step II. If you can't find anything, just make your own as you study.

I would be willing to exchange step 2 cards. I have made many from FA or kaplan.
