If you want to ace Step 2 CK, slacking off and winging it simply won’t get you your target score. You need to study up and be prepared. I joined Dr. Divesh’s group sessions in October, 2016 after contemplating whether I’d be able to benefit more from a learning group or if I will thrive more in a one-on-one setting. I ended up choosing a group class, thinking it would be much more stimulating. True enough, the sessions encouraged healthy interaction and opportunities to pick the brains of other reviewers. Dr. Divesh is someone who authentically cares about students. He always made sure that we all truly understood the lessons—a mark of a real mentor. More than the topnotch material used, this is what I liked about his course. What you need to score well in Step 2 CK is good guidance and support—and you will definitely get that from Dr. Divesh.
I scored a 205 in my NBME 3, which I took about a month from the exam and gave the UWSA, in which I scored 248. I relied mainly on UW for the questions along with those practiced by Dr. Divesh in our classes. I didn’t have much time to read up on theory, but Dr. Divesh’s notes sufficed and helped me through some of the most difficult parts of the exam.
If you are struggling with your Step 2 CK preparations, Dr. Divesh’s USMLE Global classes are highly recommended. It was because of his high yield notes, visually stimulating slides, regular assessments, and general tutoring that I got a 240 in my Step 2 CK exam. His notes cover almost everything, which is great for someone who doesn’t have much time to read all the books. Dr. Divesh’s notes + tutoring sessions + practice UW is a good formula for success in the USMLE Step 2 CK test.
