What I meant by when I said that doing Kaplan Qbank is better off than reading Goljan and annotating it. Doing step 1 then step 2 will boost your score in step 2 and ALSO will shorten the time period for studying for step 2 And reading Goljan without annotating from it is kinda useless (that's why it takes along time to finish it).Īdvice, don't do Goljan, but INSTEAD do Kaplan Qbank and that shall raise your score as much as would GOljan do but in a shorter period of time.ĭoing step 2 before step 1 will boost your score in step 1 later on BUT will not shorten the period for studying step 1. One final thing that would make you SUUUUUPER is Goljan, BUT that would take loooooots of time from you. Uworld will get you to 235-240 w/o even reading MTB or kaplan (If you can fully grasp the knowledge in it) BUT if you're looking for a higher score then you gotta do the extra miles of annotating and incorporating. Neurology kaplan along with neurology in MTB and annotate and write notes. I didn't incorporate any notes from kaplan videos or books into my MTB! So, Always Annotate missing diseases and things mentioned in the videos that are NOT in your MTB.ĭo Kaplan along with MTB, ie. Gyne, peds,etc.Īlso I did uworld 2.5X (that's what got me from 190-233, BUT I took too long to finish it and was slacking back, so I did it in 5.5 months.) Used MTB 2 for internal medicine topics and MTB for non-internal medicine topics eg.
