By now you should have a strategy for answering long questions | Usmle step 2 experinces

By now you should have a strategy for answering long questions. For me I read the last line and the answers first, so that I could orient my mind to find the answers.
For hard questions: mark and leave till the last. Spending time on hard questions will take the time from others that you already know. So better off leave them to the end.

Practice taking breaks. For me I took 2 blocks > break > 2 blocks > break > 2 blocks > break > last 2 blocks.
What’s important is to stay comfortable. I wanted to take large breaks and drink coffee so I did the two blocks thing.
Also I don’t do well with sneakers so I went to prometric with sweat pants and slippers so try staying comfortable.



Final word


Stay positive, do your best, help others and trust yourself. It’s not an easy test but it’s doable. Aim high and work for it. If you’re religious; Pray and make Du’aa.
