Warming up for Step 2 CK - some questions

Haisook said:

I have some questions about Step 2 CK prep material:

1. I have Kaplan lecture notes & videos 2007 ed. Are there any newer versions, and should I upgrade if there are any?
2. Is First Aid for Step 2 CK as good and recommended as that for Step 1? If not, is there any alternative?
3. In general, is preparing for Step 2 CK different from Step 1 prep? Anything I should be aware of?

I'd appreciate your insights.
Thank you.

Kaplan Notes is enough and you don't need to see the videos. Have a look here http://www.usmle-forums.com/usmle-s...s/3533-do-we-need-watch-kaplan-ck-videos.html

You don't need First Aid for the CK have a look here

In CK, be prepared for long long clinical vignettes that ask you what is the best next step.
Another thing, your Step 1 prep will really really help you with the CK prep.

Good luck
