I am anxiously awaiting my CK score, and wanted to know what others who have taken CK in the last few months thought of the exam? I did well on Step 1, and left the exam feeling confident, but with CK, it was a completely different experience: questions were vague and I had a difficult time with a lot of them. The exam left me jaded. I'm wondering if others have felt this way. I went into it feeling confident in my how much I had studied and the knowledge I had, but the test was a lot tougher than I anticipated. I felt even UWorld q's were more straight forward compared to the actual thing.

My sentiments were precisely the same as yours. I prepared thoroughly for the exam, scored consistently high on UWorld, and peaked right around exam time, walking into it with a million facts crammed into my head. The questions I got were vague to say the least. Many of them were "choose the most correct answer" questions, which I fully understood, along with every answer choice, but had no basis for picking one answer out of three or four perfectly correct ones. I also walked out feeling that UWorld was far more straightforward and unambiguous. Nevertheless, I got a score I'm pretty happy with, so keep your chin up and enjoy 4th year.
