Lot similar to your situation drayesha. Took my step1 after about 4 months of broken prep and got a 99. Though i haven't taken my CS yet. There was again a break after my step1. Till now just done medicine one reading and 1 block from Qbook. I am using essentially the same material as you. I have my exam planned in last week of June. I guess its tight but not undoable. Lets see.. Good luck to you too.

started studyn for step 2 on Dec 8th last year and wrote exam on Jan 15th. 1 month prep included the same kaplan notes and usmleworld. got 97. this is my experience. i think you shd be OK. in fact better write the exam by july 1st week. this ensures that you have the scores ready by the time you apply for the residency match
hope this helps
regards

I'm sure you'll get a good score, specially if you can get to 97 in a month, 99 in Step 1 would be easy.. My best wishes..
