Step 2 CK Study Schedule
Resources
These are the study resources I used while studying for Step 2 CK
UWorld
- Most of my dedicated study period I spent doing UWorld questions on random and timed mode.
- Took notes on a word doc
OnlineMedEd (OME)
- Great supplemental resource
- Highly recommend their $25 quick tables book
Practice Exams
UWorld self-assesments (UWSA), NBME practice exams, and free 120 practice questionns from USMLE.org.
- UWSA 1: Good predictor one month out (overestimates by 15-25)

- NBME 6: Good predictor 1 month out (overestimates by 10-20)
- NBME 7: Underestimates by 5-15pts
