First Aid For 2cs
Is FA for 2cs enough to study from?

How is the USMLEWORLD for 2cs and what does it offer/

Thanks

Honestly, I studied 2 weeks before CS out of FA for the CS and found it to be complete and comprehensive in every way. It was right on the money for everything I encountered on exam day.

The high-yield chapter before the individual cases was excellent, as were the "challenging questions". I'd recommend finding a partner you can practice with and focus on timing and also note writing/ddx.

I looked briefly at UW CS and found it to be less useful than FA in my opinion.

Good luck.

In my experience FA was more than enough. I didn't use UW for it so I can't say.
But I passed with jsut using first aid and practing the cases
