How Long To Prepare For Step-2CK?

I graduated a few years back and have been working in Pathology ever since. How long should I give to CK prep in order to score a 90+ percentile?

bonfire22 - 09-22-10 06:37 Can I possibly squeeze it in 3 months? I want to apply for a Pathology residency in the next match. If I want to apply to ERAS next sep 1st, I have 11 months in all, and I need to give at least 5-6 to step 1, as it has more weightage for Pathology residencies.

bingousmle - 09-22-10 12:36 i think you should start studying ASAP and see how confident you are about your knowledge, because the competition level has gone up and you cannot compromise on scores.. i think 3 months might not be sufficient..
