Step 2 CK
While it seems that test taking is all I do lately, I am just returning from a month off from taking step 2 CK. CK is a nine hour computerized test that is graded on a similar scale to the step 1 test - 360 questions, 60 of which are experimental and the other 300 determine your score. Unlike step 1 instead of pathophysiology, you are graded on diagnosis skills and treatment. In my case, that is a very good thing because EM pretty much that.Now about step 2 CK, it felt very different than step 1. I purchased the Kaplan Qbank with a friend, and Kaplan questions felt MUCH harder than the real test. I am not willing to hazard a guess on my score, but I feel better about this test. I also took that same month off to take PALS (pediatric advanced life support) and audit ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support). Even though they cut into my study time, I feel like I got alot out of them. Trauma and peds are relatively 'high yield' on Step 2 it seemed. They are also pretty high yield on my EM rotation that is just starting.
