step 2 ck

Hello, I currently go to Ross University in the Caribbean, and got my STEP 2 CK score back, and am now wondering if I should apply to IM? After receiving 209 on STEP1, I was very disappointed and thought that Family Medicine might be the only route for me, unless I really did well on CK. I got...

Hey guys. I will be starting my 3rd year now and need to know if Rotation exams will be similar to step 2 CK or should I be more worried about CK? Same materials for rotation exams for CK can do the trick or not?

My friend is planning on going to Dr. Fischer's Cramathon on June 25th - Cramathon for USMLE Step 2CK / COMLEX Level 2 as I understand Dr. Fischer will share new questions that are likely to be included in the new tests. Is anyone else going?

Taking Step 2 CK in about a week, already bought Sim form 1 and will take tomorrow, for anyone who has taken both Sim forms, do they cover different material (ie only by buying both will you get a full review of all the Step 2 CK material), or do they just test the same material in different...

In 3rd and 4th year what resources should I use to nail the wards and also the boards/CK? Which are clinical books most important to get the most out of rotations? My rotations are going to start soon so a bit worried about this.

So I don't see an up to date poll for this - and times change. So the best backbone of step 2 CK studying is: UWorld + Which book? (there may be other types of resources, but I'm interested in the best Text). Let's say for a 4 week study period (haven't started a prep book yet).

I am sure this has been asked before, but... would you rather take CS or CK before submission opens in September? I took CS once and failed. I am guessing that if I re-took it passed, that would look better in my application than having the CK score (by the time registration opens in...

Hey everyone! I would really like to delay Step 2 CK. I did well on Step 1 (262) and am taking a research year in between MS3 and MS4 right now. So I've forgotten a lot of stuff for Step 2 CK. Can I take it in like November or something? I figure there's no need to have it by Sept 15...

The only threads I found on this are a couple years old and it seems the scoring has changed since then. I'm currently studying for step 2 and took NBME 4...and was kinda shocked at my score. It was lower than I thought it would be at this point. Has anyone else taken 4 for step 2 and thought...

Hello, I am an IMG with us citizenship and I took my step 1 in march 2014 and didn't do so great. I had to take a break and work because my mom got sick. I am now back to studying for step 2 and don't know how to start or what to do!! Should I take an NBME first? Or should I just start...

Hey guys. I wanted to know if IR programs want Step 2 CK to be taken before you apply. I know the general strategy is to take Step 2 if your Step 1 was low to try and improve, and to delay Step 2 if you did well on Step 1. Does this also hold true for integrated IR? I got a solid Step 1 score...

I've noticed that Uworld has released a new self assessment for step 2ck. Has any one had an experience with it? How good is it from prediction and quality point of view?

I wanted to pass on info about this qbank that I found. I finished Uworld while studying for CK and was deciding on a second qbank. Heard bad things about Kaplan and had done Rx while in my IM rotation. An IM resident told me about Know medge, as the qbank is geared for the IM boards. I tried a...

Hi all, Going to be writing CK in 2 weeks, and I've been doing the Clinical Mastery Series NBME's as I've seen people recommend on multiple threads throughout this forum. Quickly realized that nobody had been posting anything about how they were scoring on these CMS exams vs CCSE vs Actual...

Finished taking step 1/level 1 a couple of weeks ago and was wondering how common it is for students to take step 2 CK, if they are seeking an ACGME residency. Does it vary based on program? and if so, where would one find such information. Thanks!
