Step 2 ck experience
Salam alekum,
RESERVE OFFICER .My name is Ayman Adel grad 2007.I decidedto go through this journey when i was in the internship year .I took step 1immediately after the internship ,score 229/95 and i was planning to take step2ck 6 months after but unfortunately ijoined the army as a reserve officer.30 months swinging from place to another,full of actions finished by going to Afghanistan . yes Afghanistan .i have never dreamedto go this place . there is an Egyptian hospital treating the suffering afghan people there .During this longperiod i was trying to study but could not. when i came back i was justfinishing my service and start active studying to resume my paused journey .Butthere is light spots during my service one of which i could to take strongletter of recommendation from the chief American doctor and medal ofappreciation from American hospital.
back to my step 2 ck experience,
Thanks God ,my score is 238/83 which i think good for thestory i mentioned.
How long did i spend with active preparation?
6 months
Study material i used?
first aid+kaplain only for surgery and internal medicine +kaplain of step 1 in biostatistics and behavior
question banks i used?
U world i solved itas testing tool, timed mixed, with score 72%+Q book+ some offline Q BANK
i took UWSA 2 weeks befor my exam amd scored 244
The exam day experience,
this is a copy of what i have sent as regard my impression in the first day after i took theexam.
I took my exam yesterday and i will give you some hints asregard my impression. So long exhausting day and boring also, try to make yourrest time in the last 4 blocks i took 4 breaks during which i get out of thetest room which was good for refreshment, take food and juice with you,theweather in the test room was good. as overall it waspalatable not difficult the time was more than enough i had may be more than 10min spare in most of the blocks for revision the marked Q but take care the Qwere to some extent long and full of distractors . there was meny pediatricsand obst. Q . most of behavior and biostatistics were nice . i had 2 drug adwhich resemble in the format of that in the usmle practice material. Some ofthe ethics Q were not present in the material i studied from so i guessed theanswer(هى ماده رخمه ).no so much gyna q.i had 1 abstract which was 3 Q which wereunpalatable at all .some people mentioned that step 2 exam is harder than step1 which i didnt feel .be confident and relaxed USMLE world i think a littleharder than the exam. there is no basic Q.i have meny ECG traces and nice easypictures .lastly the much Q you practise the easy the exam you will feel.
AND LASTLY IAM SURE IT IS NOT THE IDEAL PREPARATION BUT WHATMAKES ME TO WRITE IT IS THE VALUE BEHIND
NEVER GIVE UP,YOU MAY STRUGGLE AND FACE OBSTACLES BUT IF YOUBELIEVE IN YOUR DREAM YOU WILL DO IT AND EVEN IF YOU DIDNT GET YOUR DREAM ,YOUWILL RESPECT YOUR SELF.
