USMLE Step 2 CK Study Schedule

Similar to my post on the Step I, here are my sources to study for the Step 2 CK:

1) Master the Boards: Book: This book is fairly new and written by Dr. Conrad Fischer. I've heard that although it has a few deficiencies, it's overall a pretty well written book. As of this post I'm about 75% done with my first read of it and I like it so far.

2) UWORLD question bank: Gunna try to complete all 2300 questions at least once. Hopefully twice. From what I hear, this is the single most important resource to study from.

3) Kaplan series: I've read the IM, Paeds, and GObs books back in med school. Maybe I'll read them again if I get time.

4) USMLE step 2 secrets: Ordered mine a few days ago from Amazon. Heard it's a great book to supplement with the others to really reinforce concepts.

Unfortunately, I don't really have that much time to study... a mere 6 weeks. But inshaAllah that'll be enough. Lemme know what you guys think.
