Worth spending time on psych?

[draugusto]

Sitting CK in a couple of months after recently having done step 1 a month ago

Randomly did 40 qs on psych without any reading since step 1 and got 75% correct.
Just seems like common sense and exactly the same material as step 1.

Any people who have finished with CK had a similar experience or am I just kiding myself?

this question seems a little foolish to me, and more like a stealth brag.

You have months to study. Psych takes all of a DAY to go over and to do practice questions. Spend a day, see if you know it., and take it from there

Remember, it doesn't matter whether a question is super hard or super easy - they all count the same. Give psych the time it deserves. Don't blow it off, but don't spend a long time on it.

Is the section in FA for CK enough?

Basically, it is obvious that one needs more knowledge about IM,Paeds, Surgery and OBGYN as compared to step 1 but Psych seems to have already been covered compared to the aforementioned.

"Stealth brag"? Thanks for the psychoanalysis.

Eh, it depends what test you get. It's entirely random. I seemed to get a ton of OB/gyn on mine and not much psych. It's a gamble. Even still, step 2 is the stuff you should know. There were plenty of questions I didn't know the answer to. But every time I saw a question that I couldnt answer, I thought "I should know this".

In summary, you should know what you should know. They don't ask anything off the wall.

the psych on my CK was very easy. Essentailly Step 1 stuff.


Do not fret over it too much
