I had a ROUGH M3 year. Just read my post history, and there's more I haven't even mentioned. I'm not quite finished with UWorld. I calculated and I will be able to complete UWorld plus my incorrect questions before I take step 2. Can anyone comment and let me know if you think this is enough...

Hello Sdn, I just received my step 2ck score of a 217 and I am absolutely devastated. All of my practice exams were in the 230-240 range with free 120 scores above 75% and I have no idea where this test went wrong. Here are some of my other stats: Step 1- Pass Level 1-Pass Sigma Sigma Phi...

For some context, I'm applying to a EM with an average matching score in the high 240's (so not the most competitive). I'm in the middle of a research year at a "top 20" medical school with P/F preclinical and honored every rotation other than neuro. I don't think I deserved most of these...

I know that this won't have to come up for a few months but I'm looking for insight as to when it's a good time to take Step 2, when did other MS3/4s decide to take it and how far before ERAS opening can you take it. The 2023 ERAS timeline had initial applications open up on June 8th with...

So it looks like step 2 ck will be the new main metric that residencies will use to quantitatively judge and compare the relative candidacy of applicants. With this in mind, studying for step 1 by doing hundreds of anki cards a day, going through thousands of questions, and even spending 1-2...

Hi all, For those of you who have been through the match process for anesthesia, I was wondering, is it necessary to take Step 2 CK before applying? I have a relatively strong Step 1 score (248) and am worried that I may not do as well on Step 2 CK. I know that taking it can help bolster a weak...

Hello and Happy New Year, For all those that had a significant time commitment (research, fellowship, service project, etc) that took up a lot of time during the day (4-8 hours+) and still managed to ace Step 2 CK, how did you prepare for the exam schedule-wise? I can imagine you will need more...

Is STEP 2 a strict requirement for JSGMESB application? I've read that you can get an extension and was trying to weigh my options. I'm AF and the specialty I'm applying to only has 1 active duty location, the rest are civ deferred/sponsored, so I'd rather hold off on STEP 2 until after I apply...

Hey guys. I intend to take step 1 in mid January. I aim to take 2 weeks break and start Step 2 CK studies Feb 1. I'm and IMG on a time crunch. How long do I need to prepare for Step 2 CK if I only take 2 weeks off after finishing Step 1?

Hello! Anyone need a study buddy?

Hi guys! I am starting to study for Step 1. I saw sample test questions on the USMLE web, but I feel they are very similar test. For example, you are asked for diagnosis in both. Thank you so much guys! I am IMG, so is a little bit difficult to catch some information.
