My Step 2CK journey
Background: Old IMG,step 1 254, full time working
Study device: iPad only, no paper al all, I was full time working so had to read in pieces, I was carrying my iPad with me all the time,
Study Apps: GoodReader, PDFexpert, LogMeIn and TeamViewer for iPad and Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac.
How I used the Apps:
1. Adobe Acrobat Pro: did OCR (optical character recognition) on offline UWorld and KLN. And optimised the file size.
1. PDF Expert: read KLN once and made a single text file of only the highlighted text. (revised the text file only)
2. GoodReader: read UWorld offline after each subject and highlighted the keywords and new things. (only these Highlighted words can be easily read in the annotations) so I revised these two days prior to exam.
3. LogMeIn and TeamViewer are remote desktop apps used to do online Qbanks as these were not compatible with iPad.
I did both online Qbanks UWorld 82% after doing offline first. Then Kaplan online only 70%.
UWSA: 250 one month before exam
NBME: 260 one week before exam
Actual Result: 261/86
