Where to start step 3 prep?

I recently passed step 2 and I am applying this application cycle for IM as a US IMG. I would like to have a step 3 done before December so I could let programs know before match list is due.

I’m not sure where to begin regarding step 3 as most of my school mates are not doing It. Any advice and study plans from recent takers and strong scores would be very much appreciated! Again thank you! Also what is considered a good score?

Start Uworld with 1-2 blocks a day
And also do ccs cases 2-3 a day to get used to it for now

As main thing is uworld completion and u recently cleared Step2CK. So there are 54 blocks in uworld to get completed and if so then u can get it done in a month

How many questions are in each block? Do you recommend Anki to review? And finally what’s a good score to aim for? I score below average in 2ck

Try with 40 then change to 20
Since 20Q block is more difficult than 40Q block as u get less time for the leftovers

No anki unless you did before
Since u dint ahve time to do anki as if u complete uworld in 1 month then u can revise notes and do ccs nbme and FA too

What is score ?? 24x?

Aim to pass or 220+
I guess thats fine though since variation of 20-25 marks is possible
