In the 1st week, I think that was more like 8 hours. I've been also trying to get to 3 blocks of UW a day while reviewing answers but it seems 2 blocks takes me about 5-6 hours to complete. I know tons of people said DIT is a waste of $$$$ because you can do it on your own because there's a lot of redundant reading but was looking for a review course that wasn't too long like kaplan or just staring at textbooks because I wanted to treat UW as my textbook in a way. Since the suspension, the FSMB and NBME have decided not to. Read on to learn a bit about them both, and then I’ll talk about how I’m approaching them. How would it be if I didn't use their workbook or the step up to step 2 book and only just watch the videos for 3 or 4 hours a day? My plan was to knock off the course in like 2 weeks.ĭid you all use the workbook + step up to step 2? I wanted to spend the rest of the day doing UW but felt if I had other books in front of me, I wouldn't be paying attention to the videos. Due to COVID-19, the USMLE Step 2 CS (clinical skills) was temporarily suspended for safety reasons. To be able to qualify for residency (physician training) in the United States, you have to complete three exams: Step 1 and Step 2 (which is split into two big exams, called CK and Step 2 CS). Clinical Skills Assessment CSA (CSAs), a prior form of the Step 2 (CS) exam. I took a research year off between M3 + M4 and need to jog my mind again with a lot of stuff and have about 4 more dedicated weeks left. Those who have passed the test may have reached a threshold level but still.
