My standard advice

First Aid Step 2 or Step Up Step 2

and

Uworld​

get you a 230 if dedicated month. This comes from a pool of posts on SDN, from a project I did on "improving step scores" at my home school in medical school (weak data, not even close to publishable, but good trends), and from an anecdotal story of my good friend from medical school.

Her story: 212 after 2 months of studying. Couldn't get the right resource, jumped around alot, never stuck with one thing. Hear this was great for this, or that is great for that, etc. Did FA Step 2 and Uworld, 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. 231. Wham.
