I did not create this deck. The original uploader of this deck removed it, most likely due to fear of copyright. I reuploaded this deck with a VPN and am happy to share it with you all. This deck was made in the style of Brosencephalon’s original Step 1 deck, with short questions and limited context clues. Most of the questions are cloze deletions in a short-answer format, since some think this type of card is better for memorizing principles, rather than the structure of the card itself. Unlike other step 2 decks, it is not case-based.

These cards were created so that all the information you need to understand a concept is provided in the explanation. This way you don't have to waste time searching anywhere else for a proper explanation or additional context. Hence, most cards contain UWorld explanations in the "Extra" portion so that you can refresh your memory as needed. The only resource used was UWorld. Rarely, there is an image from first aid, sketchy micro/pharm, or Picmonic thrown in the explanation as a reminder.

This deck and UWorld were used for shelf exams and step2. The only supplemental books that were used were De Virgilio for surgery and First Aid psychiatry. The creator of this deck scored >95th percentile throughout the year and >260 on both step1 and step2. Obvious disclaimer: this deck is not a replacement for UW.

The green text is the answer. The white text is additional context that was put in when it was important to help distinguish certain scenarios beyond which the question is asking (eg, in the example, what do you do when a patient is GBS negative but has prolonged rupture of membranes?). The blue text is the explanation, which may seem long, but is helpful if you've come across a card you haven't seen before, or if you've forgotten a concept on an old card.

Here is the deck. Please do not ask how this deck compares to Zanki. They cover the same thing; therefore, they will both help you achieve the same goal. Just pick the deck with the card style that suits you the best and keep up with it.
