I am an IMG with a terrible Step 1 score and need to do very well in CK.
I have read Kaplan CK notes once with a bit of FA and FA cases.
I am now doing my second read with FA, FA cases and FA Q&A.
Problem is I have only 7 weeks and already extended my eligibility period.
After my second read, I intend to go through UW,Kaplan Qbank and Qbook. I am not sure I will be able to make it. I need help.

Nothing beats hard work - through every class and clerkship. Assuming you've done that: all of the resources you mentioned go with the assumption you learned the stuff the first time around. I think questions are vital at this point for you. Definitely do all of UWorld and read the explanations etc. Reading books like FA, Kaplan, Step-up etc. are great, but you need to learn/interact with it in a way as to retain the information. Good luck. I don't think doing FA and kaplan would necessarily be all that helpful vs. reviewing one of the resources twice.

I'd second the idea of doing all of UWorld, even going over it a second time pretty thoroughly. I didn't do much of UWorld, but I pretty much knew Crush Step 2 cold ... and I take tests well. I did above average, but classmates who made it through World twice at the expense of review books absolutely blew out the mean. I would have focused much more on questions if i could do it again.

Thanks. Now i have 4 weeks and am still trying to finish the kaplan notes a second time alongside FA, FA cases and FA Q&A -should be through within 2 weeks. I plan to spend all of the last 2 weeks on UW. Any advice please?

DIT beats Kaplan notes. I am doing DIT this time around and my means on uworld on not below 65%.

I am now less than one week to my exam. I have now gone through Kaplan notes (including 100 Kaplan Ethics Cases) and FA with backup from FA CASES twice quite thoroughly. I need help. What do I do now? I haven't had time to go through Question Banks. HELP
