Does Step 2CK have any significance after residency apps?

Does your Step 2CK score affect future applications for fellowships?

I have a good Step 1 score and am not relying on a high Step 2CK score as a backup for my applications (both CAS and ERAS have already been submitted and I will not be automatically forwarding my scores). I was going to take a few weeks to study for Step 2, but now I am a week into it and have definitely not been as motivated in studying as I was for Step 1. I don't know whether to delay it to get some more studying done for a higher score or to just take it.

all fellowship apps do ask for your step 1 and step 2 scores. Not certain how much they play into the selection process, but I'm pretty sure it's minimal. Particularly with a solid step 1 score. Don't sweat it but don't bomb...
