Which is better - taking the CK exam before CS or vice versa? I'll be taking both exams within a month of each other but I am not sure about the ordering.
Any suggestion, guys?

It shouldn't make much of a difference either way. I took CS before CK, but that's just the way my schedule ended up working out.

Doesn't make a difference if you ask me....I took CS and CK in the same month as well. I did CS first, because I was more worried about not passing it. It ended up being a real easy and fun experience.

I don't know if I would call CS real easy and fun!

I took CS before CK and I did well on both. I guess you could argue that you might be better at coming up with DDx and you plans for CS if you had already studied for CK, but I don't think it matters that much.

If you are an AMG, reading FA for CS should be all the prep you need.

CK all the way baby!

I don't really think one prepares you for the other, but I would point out that the residency programs you apply to will be interested in your CK score, but likely will not care at all about CS (so long as you pass before starting.) So depending on when exactly you plan on taking them, if you can have your CK score back by the time interviews start that would be ideal.
