Registered to take the official exam in December, which leaves 3 months to study.
I'm a new intern and so far have finished 54% of the ~1600 UWorld questions with an average of 61% correct (39th percentile which is below the medium of 45th) on untimed tutor mode by organ system. I also purchased the UWorld Biostats and CCS to complete later. Other study resources I have are MTB Step 3 and Pocket Medicine (just ordered the newest 7th edition which should arrive in a couple months).
My goal is to score really high, like 240-250 range. I am interested in doing fellowship (one of the most competitive ones) so I want to make my app as strong as I can. I attend a community/university program (per FREIDA) which does have the in-house fellowship, yet some of my colleagues are interested in this field as well. For reference, my Step 1 score was 240s, but Step 2CK dropped by at least 20 points. Quite embarrassing though I was scoring around average on my practice exams...
Currently I am on elective month so I have time to study. Next month will be my second wards month, then a month of clinic. Finally I will be doing two weeks of night float. I have about five days between that and the exam to readjust my sleep cycle.
Besides UWorld, what other suggestions do you have to crush this last Step exam?
