I am just devastated .Received my Ck result today and I haver already applied for the programs in Internal Medicine ,Pediatrics and Family Medicine .Its Dec Already and I have bad step one score 213 and Passed CS in first attempt . Working as research fellow at Harvard for two years .People are willing to help me but can any one help me with failed ck? Can i apply in Family medicine with this status and any chances to get a match? Shall I retake in one month and save this residency .Unfortunately, number of people are willing to help me but not sure how can i go ahead with step 2 CK /It was very difficult nothing was even related with u world or any question bank. Already revised u world three times Questions were out of any question bank available .My parents are still in the hope that I will get residency this year as i was positive with my resume and I was sure I will get pass in CK .But its such a shameful thing . Not sure how to proceed .Can i retake CK in one month and finish it? Please suggest me .I really need advise desperately.

Have u gotten any interview invites? If so, take the damn thing again at the end of this month so you can have a score back before programs submit their ROL...

You need to be very careful. A third attempt at CK may be your last shot-- i.e. there could be serious barriers to ever practicing medicine with 3 failures

I'll punt this to our wise resident colleagues.

meh, the requirements can be found here:

The OP already can't get licensed in Alaska or Idaho with two CK failures. A lot more states say "three attempts per step" especially towards the end of the list, so yeah a third CK failure would eliminate even more states.
