OK, so I don't want to get into some kind of posting war that tells me what a worthless future doctor I'm going to be, but the circumstances are this:
Have until mid Nov to prepare
So, keeping in mind that I essentially just have a few hours a day to do this
Facts about me that may help your advice:
1) Step 1 226 (I'm not shy to lay it out there)
2) have reasonable cram & multiple choice skills, and all eval tests/score predictors were spot on for me
3) Goal is 230-5 Step 2 CK score, my sources indicate this would correspond to 65% on World (currently getting 53% on the first 300 qs), and while I know this might be unreasonable considering everything, at this point any advice on what you would consider "bare bones studying for a reasonably intelligent slacker to not fail Step 2 CK" would be great
Can I get away with just doing all of the World qbank once to do this? I have First Aid too but not too sure on my motivation to read vs. doing questions. I always read every single thing on the World question page when I do qs, somehow that kind of "random medical topic reading" works better for me than just "straight chapters out of a book"
Otherwise, if anyone has suggestions on how to spend my time assuming 1-2 hr per day max (will likely be more than that but let's be conservative here) between now and mid Nov in order to at least NOT FAIL Step 2 CK, that would be cool. I know, I'm looking for the bare minimum here, and this is part where the gunners tell me my very existence offends them....
Any help would be awesome dudes, I thank you in advance
