The answers to your questions vary from person to person and that's why we have put polls to see the average answer.
However, here's my personal recommendations:
A1: No you don't need to supplement Kaplan notes with any other book. Kaplan notes are sufficient and perhaps even more than the required. As for the DVDs many IMGs find them useless specially in your case when you just finished Step 1. Most of what they talk is simply pathophysiology in these DVDs and you already aced it in Step 1
. Perhaps, the two most important topics (in my opinion) to see the DVDs for are ObGyn and Psychiatry.
A2: FA for the CK is not as good as for Step 1. I did not read it and many of may 99er friends did not either. Don't waste your time with it.
Finish your Kaplan notes and start doing questions right away. If you see yourself answering more than 65% of the questions then you don't need to read any other extra book.
