i would suggest kaplan step 2 material with usmleworld prep for step 3. anything else is a welcome extra.
the materials i have are too big to send thru regular mail. thats why i couldnt send it to muzammil too. i will try to do my best.

cs thanx for the list. i searched the net and downloaded the other kaplan book from a link on some website. u sent me ethics notes so now i have complete kaplan step 3 notes set.
dhoni i am also taking step 3 in jan. how is your prep going

hi......thanks cs ........how much time do u think i need ? i have started prep last week...UW around average around >70 % .what abt steps123 ?
0 - ArchivalUser - 12-23-2007
muzammil.........when are u planning to give cs ? Am planning in 3rd or 4th week.........have just started last week..

i didnt try 123 so i cant comment about it. 70% on usmle is very good. if you prep well you can get high score. i feel 2-3 months is more than sufficient especially if you have given step 2 recently or a fresh graduate.

one month may be a little short time for prep but if your aim is to get h1b this year then i suppose yu are not left with much choice. almost all programs would like to know step 3 status before february. in that case you may have to give soon, or else take another month i am sure yur scores will be good.

gave step 2 6 months back......step 3 got delayed cos of my cs
Anway will jan end be too late to take step 3 ?
so how's it going ..........my eras has had no activity for such a long time .
0 - ArchivalUser - 12-23-2007
i have scheduled my step 3 on 15th and 17 th jan. lets see if u stick to it or not.
70% on UW is great score.
