KP prep: books or course?

Question

I have Berufserlaubnis in Thüringen and my Kenntnisprüfung is in 2 months. Should I join a course or just study with Amboss + protocols? Any realistic plan?

If you're deciding course vs self-study, think in 3 blocks: knowledge, exam style, and German presentation.
• Knowledge: KP is usually broad, especially internal medicine and surgery core. Amboss is great if you set a strict daily target.
• Exam style: get 10–20 protocols and extract repeating classic topics.
• Language: practice case presentation out loud, not only reading.

If you work full time on BE, a course can help structure, but only if it gives active oral training. Otherwise self-study plus weekly roleplay plus protocols is often more efficient.

Amboss + old Protokolle helped me a lot. Course was too general.
