I will still stressed throughout the studying process, but nothing like Step 1. My 4-ish weeks felt like plenty, but I also felt like I could have kept learning forever. It felt like things I wanted to and should know to be a good physician! That’s not to say there weren’t some curveballs thrown in there, but in some ways, studying was a fun challenge. No little (and often irrelevant) microbiology and biochemistry. The material and topics were all at least somewhat familiar after taking all of my shelf exams, plus it’s actual medicine. Studying for Step 2 was much better than for Step 1. However I will share what I did and how I felt about the test in general. I can’t speak too well about how well my studying worked since I don’t have my score back yet. I’ve gotten lots of questions! I took the test a little over a week ago. One of the things on that to-do list is to share more about Step 2 CK with you all. And I’ve slept in, got in good workouts, walked Winnie, and am casually checking things off of my to-do list. I have no set plans for what might be the last time all summer, so I’m taking advantage! This morning I grabbed a spontaneous “be there in 10 minutes!” second breakfast with my brother and his girlfriend at Egg, which was so delicious. I’m having quiet the relaxed weekend over here. Talking about my experience of studying for and taking Step 2 CK, the second written part of my medical boards.
