Hi I'm an IMG who failed Step 2CK once before. I've been studying and have my exam scheduled at the end of June to take before the July 10 cut off for score report to be ready by September 16. I took NBME 6 yesterday and got 330 (202). Do you think I should go ahead, keep studying and take exam at the end of month or delay for another month? I just really want a passing score on the exam and to have my score back in time for the match this year.

What do you guys think I should do? Thanks for any advice.

Given your scenario, you are probably better off taking the extra time and writing it early to mid-august, that way you would probably have your scores in time for Sept 16th

As for what you should do, what have you been doing so far? I'd recommend building on your foundation on your weak points (via Kaplan comprehensive or MTB2 HY or Onlinemeded), and working through 1-2 blocks of usmleworld , with fully reading and understanding the explanations, make notes and re-review them daily.
