I studied for approximately 3.5 weeks. I completed UW questions, and went over my marked questions x 2. I also went over my notes that I took when I did my questions x 2. I also completed all my UW cases. I did the majority of them before I went and took day 1 of the exam, and after I came back, I did the rest of the cases. Second day to me was very easy and straight forward because the cases were very similar to the UW cases. I also memorized all the FA cases. I used read the entire FA, and unfortunately only parts of Crush.

I am currently a resident in IM. I got a 91 on step 1, and a 95 on step 2. My advice for studying is to make sure you know the basics. UW is very good, but you have to understand that they are also testing concepts that likely won't be on the exam. Many of the questions are little minute details that you may not remember. The real exam is very different in that they test more basic concepts that need to be applied in situations. Don't get discouraged by forgetting little details, but understand the overall picture!
good luck!!

I also I recommend doing crush step 3 in the last 1.5 weeks, as it does provide some good key points that helped on the real exam.
