step 2 ck experience by drsap

drsap is telling his experience in STEP 2 ck

hi everyone


i took my exam on 29th of june. question style was same as UW. only difference was that they put so many extra information in the question to make Q long.

In most of those long questions i found clue for the answer in first and last 2 sentence.in many Q i have no clue as i found those Q very vague and in those Q i picked up the most common thing as answer.i dont know it will work or not.

I have so many long questions and at the same time with the blessing of god i also have 2/3 sentence Q.these are q which helped me get my block complete by time. i got most of the Q regarding 'most likely diagnosis'.i got one Q same as that was in usmle sample CD. some of my friends got 2 or 3 Q from sample CD.so its worth to do that CD.

I got only 2 EKG in the exam.both were simple to read.in pedia i have so many Q from Rspiratory system and same RS problems of new borns.Q regarding shock, contact dermatitis and its mechanism (type of hypersensitivity reaction)of it in 2 or 3 Q. i think its worth to do skin from goljan.

In most Q they were trying ask ans that check out overall knowledge.for eg.in one Q they gave me history about croup and then asked Q that "which part of RS affected?" option:hypopharynx subglottis trachea alveoli pleura. so they were not asking about straight ans but ans in relation to patho or pharmac stuff. so i think its all about our overall knowledge tht helped me give ans.i just want to say that be ready for answering with help of what u learn from ur medical school.

so i think the exam was so much vague that i am so much afraid of result and praying to god for the best.

i hope this information may heplful to those who are preparing for CK. i will inform my result so that u all have some correlation about what i said and its effect on result.

i wish u all the best.


thanx for reading my post.
