How frequently do people take CS & CK within the same couple weeks or month compared to months apart? My schedule as I'm planning it now has me taking CK in June, but the place where I want to take CS is booked through August.
The two are completely disconnected from one another, one means nothing with or without the other. Do not be mislead by their similar title "Step 2 C..." The "S" and "K" may only be a single letter different, but their content, their preparation, and their difficulty are as far away from each other as A and Z.
The only suggestion I would have for you is do CS before December. That way, should you fail (and, judging from your preparedness to get it done in August, you won't), you have time to pass it before residency starts (i.e. not competing for a spot with every other ***** who waited until the last minute to sign up).
Bottom line: it doesn't matter how long is between them, they are two separate and unrelated tests.

Beginning of Oct took CS --> 5 Weeks --> Middle of Nov took CK. Perfect amount of studying time.
don't mean to hijack the thread, but is it even worth it to get a cs qbank from uworld? or just use FA?
FA should be more than enough if you're an AMG (no clue otherwise).
I took CS first then CK. 4 months apart. Good luck!
