	Tons so take your time: Elbamaritza (the queen of the forum and I don't say this lightly) posted these for roshani yesterday: http://www.usmleforum.com/files/forum/2007/2/230329.php Ayuverdist did this a while ago and nice people have been bumping it up: http://www.usmleforum.com/files/forum/2007/2/202094.php Doc-Heart is doing a magnificent job at uploading kaplan videos (at his pace) and youcan find them here http://www.usmleforum.com/files/forum/2007/2/228216.php Finally bdj re-uloaded Kaplan 2006 and 1-book for rnapii a couple of days ago, the links are here http://www.usmleforum.com/files/forum/2007/2/230009.php So take your time, decide what would work for you and start studying. Most people here say they do Kaplan notes, Kaplan q-band or book, definitely UW technique is similar to step1 (read, do at least 100-150 questions a day) take notes, review notes, read explanation of questions done and do NBME (some people say online and recommend 3 as being the hardest, but there is debate in this respect) Most people is studying so they might not have the million dollar answer, they are just like you; tryng their best to pass; take your time to get into threads of people reporting their scores, or coming from an exam; usually they post their experience there. Time is variable, I think it depends on your year of graduation, your clinical experience, the quality of your medical education, your devotion and ability to concentrate...tons of things play a role so the best thing to do is to be honest with yourself. This is long but sometimes I get the sense that newbies spend more than enough asking for this and you should devote more time to get in the bus instead of thinking about buying the ticket! GL Dode
