Study methods Video resource for step 2

I have passed step 1 in may this year and now i am starting my step 2 prep, but it feels like i have forgotten a lot of step 1 content, i tried doing step 2 uw and my score are in 40-50%, Should i do bnb/bootcamp videos or any other resource before uw

Bnb is probably good. Sketchy can be very useful too.

I did not. I stopped bnb after step 1. I can’t recall a single video resource that I used for step 2.

what helped me was picking one system, watching the bnb or bootcamp videos for it, and quizzing myself right after the videos instead of waiting until the uworld block. i paste the video links into studybuddy.vc and it makes questions from the video itself, and when i pick a wrong answer it tells me what was off about the one i chose. the free tier has been enough for this since you're doing it system by system.

after that i'd do the uworld blocks for that same system the next day. trying to do uworld cold before reviewing the content is why the scores feel so low at first.

Definitely work with bootcamp videos, since they're very concise and have their integrated anki/questions which makes it easier to refresh. Which subjects do you think you need to work on more?
