My USMLE Step 2 CK Notes: A Snippet

For Step 1, I put together a set of notes on a Google Doc that I shared with those interested in it. For Step 2 CK, I made comprehensive notes over the past few months, which I unfortunately cannot share due to copyright reasons. I made those notes very detailed; these are much more high-yield and to-the-point. (We are referring to this document as a ‘snippet’ of my Step 2 CK notes because they don’t include the massively detailed UW notes I made during my first pass.)

I will be making notes for the remaining couple hundred questions of UW first pass, as well as all of my 2nd pass of UW on Google Docs. I am concurrently making flashcards on Anki as well — those are for high yield factoids I want to memorize. As I do NBMEs, I will cover those in this document as well, with large “SPOILER ALERT” warnings in the page/title of the page so that you don’t accidentally ruin it for yourself. I’m more than happy to share a link with you: whether you want to use it to study or you simply want to get an idea of how someone else takes notes, it’s there for your perusal.

Disclaimer: I didn’t take the test yet, and don’t know if my method ‘works.’ It also may not ‘work’ for you, which is totally normal — everyone’s different. Furthermore, there are probably mistakes or things that you deem as common sense (but which I might not understand, for example), so please keep in mind that these notes are tailored to me and my brain!

You can make comments and add suggestions, but cannot edit the actual text. I hope it helps — let me know what you think! And if you find any errors, please do let me know (for my sake and also for others’).
