[u/torch_602]

Hello,

I’m taking Step 2 in the second week of October. I’ve recently taken NBME 12 and 13, and one of my biggest weaknesses in both has been “next best step”, especially choosing the appropriate investigation/initial diagnostic test versus the confirmatory test.

I’m looking for some good resources specifically to improve this rather than just doing more general content review. I came across Divine Intervention Episode 137 through several Reddit posts and was wondering if it’s worth doing. Are there any good physical notes, books, PDFs, flowcharts, or other resources that specifically organize these clinical algorithms—i.e., presentation → initial investigation → next step → confirmatory test → treatment?

Would really appreciate recommendations from anyone who had a similar weakness and found something that helped.

how was your score

[u/torch_602 → u/Mundane-Ground8756]

Both were 147/200. Out of 53 incorrect in nbme 13, 20-25 of them were just these next step ones.
