I just had my exam yesterday, wasn't that difficult, and questions are exactly as they are on UW. THe same screen layout,and you really feel like you are doing your UWorld questions. I wondered if the questions were more like in NBME tests, and if screen layout was like there.
The length of vignettes was not different that in UW, and all in all it wasn't such a bad experience.
I think personally, that questions in NBME tests are more difficult than those on the exam, though I understand that they are changing questions, and maybe some other day it could be more difficult.
So, my advise is don't count on my saying " it wasn't that difficult". Be prepare for everything possible.
I didn't prepare pathology from Goljan, cause I heard about that material too late. Nobody in my Kaplan center mentioned that before, so I decided to go with Kaplan books, and FA.
My question: will I need Goljan pathology for Step 2CK?? I heard about audio, but I am not a good listener, I am more visual.
What other options of Goljan patho. do you guys suggest.
Highly appreciate any suggestion.
Thanx

Hey Congrats Dusha. His RR Path book does a little step 2 review in it as well, but from what I heard from my friends who took it (CK) only Do Kaplan, World, MTB and any Conrad Fischer stuff + NBME's other than that I couldn't tell you what else. I think use a few sources don't overload yourself GL P.S. Goljan is the Shit I can't believe no one told you about him not to make you feel bad

Congratulations!
I was wondering about doing another qbank beside UW , but after ur info i decided to only do UW and FA .....
