Do i need Neuro to take Step II?

[irrka]

Our school decided that they'll give us a winter break if we push one of our clerkships off into fourth year. In my case it ended up being neuro. So i was wondering, how much neuro is actually on Step II and do i really need to have done the clerkship for it or can i just study some review book and wing it? that said, i need a pretty good score on my step 2 since i took step 1 almost 4 years ago AND didnt do too hot on it. thanks for any info!

I took step II before neuro and scored 24 points higher than step I. There wasn't much neuro on the test and you see a lot of neuro in medicine...no problem.

I just needed my basic neuroanatomy knowledge.
