So I took my CK on 10/14. Been patient enough, waiting for my results. Wondering if anyone else has any idea when this thing will be out.

your score will probably come out tommorrow morning. Good luck!
Thanks barmay. There's one thing I know for sure; I'll do better than I did for step 1. What I don't know is how exactly I'll do.
Will just wait and see. GOD help me, as usual.

Took mine on 10/10 and still waiting. It was a saturday, so it is probably lumped with your score. At least saturday was lumped with the week after for step 1. here is hoping on 11am tomorrow. :x:

Sure 😳).
So basically I felt I needed to do really well on step 2 CK because I didn't do so hot on a few of my third year shelf exams. I am applying to a very competitive specialty.
I studied by doing USMLE world once and was averaging 65-70%, and did it in tutor mode. Whenever I got a question wrong, or when I thought the answers were extremely thorough and helpful, I would write it out in a notebook. Closer to my test date I went over this notebook. In terms of books, I used blueprints obgyn, blueprints peds, firstaid psych, step up to medicine and didn't really use much for surgery. Ironically I studied the most for obgyn and peds because I felt those were my weakness, yet I still did the worse on those on Step 2 CK!!! Guess i just wasn't meant to be an ob/gyn or peds doctor, haha.
Day of the test....I came out feeling like the test was....very doable. I felt pretty horrible after step 1, but after step 2 CK I was like...hmmm that wasn't too bad actually. I was confident but I didn't want to jinx myself so I tried not to even think about it. I felt that I had broken 240, but I never imagined I would get my actual score (mid 250's), not in a million worlds. Hopefully this score will show the programs that I do know my third year material and in someways makeup for a few of my shelf scores.
Hope this helped!

Congrats man!! I am pretty sure you can argue that you know your material even if you didn't do so hot on a shelf or two
I am actually more anxious to get my grade now!
