2. How To Rock The USMLE CK exam
Some say it is the easiest of all the USMLE exams, others may disagree, but no
matter what your opinion on the USMLE Step 2 CK exam may be, it is of extreme
importance that you realize that this test could make or break your chances of
landing the residency of your dreams.
You want a great residency, you want to get into the field of your choice, and
because of this it is important to do very well on this exam. If you did well on
Step 1, then the Step 2 CK is your chance to solidify yourself as a top-notch
candidate, and if you didn't fare so well on Step 1, the CK exam is your chance to
shine and prove that you are a solid candidate.
So what do you have to do in order to do well on this test?
Well, it is tougher to find the time to study for the CK like you studied for Step 1,
because you most likely took a couple months to study after you finished your
basic sciences. There are ways to do well even with less time to study, and we
will now discuss a few of the techniques used by others who have been quite
successful on the CK exam.
1. Organize two less-intense rotations back-to-back
The shorter rotations in medical school are only 4 weeks in duration, and some
are notorious for being quite easy as far as time is concerned. For example, if
you are interested in a rotation that only meets 2-3 times per week for a few
hours, find out which ones they are and organize two of them back-to-back.
Once you have done this, set up your CK exam to coincide with the end of the 8
weeks of these rotations. This should give you plenty of time to sit and study
intensely for the CK while you can use your hospital time as down time from
studying.
2. Keep your studying as simple as possible - 1 review book + 1 question
bank
You probably know by now that the questions on the boards don't ask you things
straight out of the books, rather they ask you secondary and tertiary questions
that you have to dig deep to answer. Open up your study guide and start
chipping away at your questions, and while you learn new nuggets of information
about each discipline, jot them down in your study guide. Once you have
finished doing your question bank in a comprehensive manner, you will have a

3. study guide full of the basics from each discipline, as well as the details that you
are most likely to encounter on the CK exam.
This strategy is the best way to get the most information possible while still
keeping things as simple as possible. After you've done this and reviewed
everything for a couple weeks, you have all you need in order to score well on the
exam.
