U got to use the best two resources for yur Step-2CS prep and they r the First Aid for Sep-CS ad USMLEWorld Course for Step-2CS.
Always simple words and use short sentences.Never use any medical jargon.Be slow and loud while speaking and always listen carefully to what an SP is saying.Repeat what the SP has just said and write on the scrap paper only when u r repeating what the SP has just said.
Do a timed pactice of Patient Note writing as well.
Practice all this with a live practice partner.
Good Luck!

Ye, but nothing can replace the CS prep with a live practice partner.
Good Luck!
