Hello,
I am a UK IMG planning to apply for residency this September. I have sat step 1 and step 2 CS.

I am sitting CK next week. Will my score and ECFMG certificate be back in time to apply?? (the other components of my application are sorted)

CK takes 3-4 weeks to grade. You need a score by mid-September to be in the very first batch. Next week is the first week in August - 6-7 weeks before mid-September. Per the USMLE website there's no current delays in Step 2 grading.

You've only messed up if you fail the test.

(CS on the other hand? Yeah, you'd be cutting it way too close. But CK? No big deal)
