Latest To Take Step II CK?

[songl4a]

Trying to make for mediocre Step 1, planning on IM. With the date of Sept. 15th in mind for when PDs look at ERAS applications, when's the latest time to take Step II to get it in on time during this first batch of reviews? Like how long does it take for scores to get back and onto the app?

Also, would it be worth the trade off even to have more dedicated study time and take Step 2CK as late as mid-late Sept if it means a higher score but a later complete application.

Entire point is just to match IM, no preferences.

thanks

It takes about a month to get your scores back. Unfortunately I can't say whether or not taking a step 2 ck that late will hurt you but if you wanted it in by september 15th you should plan to take it early to mid August
