USMLE Step 2 Practice Test: Make your Goal Much Easier

Posted by USMLEGLOBAL.COM on May 8th, 2017

The USMLE Step 2 CK examination takes a total of 9 hours. Aside from testing your knowledge, your ability to withstand fatigue will also be challenged. The best way to prepare for this is to practice. Taking a practice exam will give you an edge on the examination day itself, as you will be armed with a clear idea of how to handle the situation.

A USMLE Step 2 practice test will tell you which topics you have not yet mastered, and then encourage you to focus your studying on weak areas. In the same way, the test will let you know what your strong areas are. Hence, you can spend less study time on those topics and direct your learning to other areas. A practice test can help you reduce anxiety on the real test items and you will learn how to pace yourself and manage your time properly. Aside from measuring the extent of your knowledge, taking a practice test will also help reinforce learning—thereby increasing your chances of recalling the same information later on. It will also allow you to familiarize yourself with the style of questioning and decrease the uncertainty of the real test.

One of the best ways to review for the USMLE Step 2 examination and have the opportunity to take a beneficial practice test is to get yourself a tutor. The best USMLE tutor can provide you with a group or one-on-one sessions, depending on your preferences. You can also expect to be provided with high-yield notes that will cover almost everything you need to know in preparation for the exam. That way, you wouldn’t have to read too many books anymore. For convenience, look for a tutor who conducts online sessions that you can attend no matter where you are in the world, and yet provide you with a classroom-like experience.

The most efficient tutor will strengthen your concepts and help you learn them by heart. But of course, this will only be possible if you have access to a huge collection of slides, CT scans, X-rays, and MRI. It is also important for you to be regularly assessed through tests at the end of every chapter.
