I am stuck in the situation for this and can't change it.

Any experience and advice on how to pass CK without step 1 for those of you who did this too?

I made a topic in CK forum for this if someone went through this!

It's hard to get an idea on this because very few are in this or even choose it. Thanks so much!

Hi taku, so you didn't do any reading of non-question sources? e.g. like mtb or first aid, goljan or kaplan lecture notes?

Do you think the pretest series helped or if I stick to kaplan qbook, kaplan online qbank and uw, would that be good? I didn't hear so much on the first aid question book, is that the Q&A from many years ago?

Thank you for the sharing of assurance!

Thanks taku, yes I'm IMG 5th year student, not practicing. MTBs=master the boards by conrad fischer. It seems very popular for many but it's really an outline format that doesn't give too much depth without background knowledge.

Do you remember the pretest books you used? There is one for each CK subject + family medicine, neurology and emergency medicine that is available.
