Hey guys. I struggled with STEP 1 studying and I scored only a 234 on the real deal (NBME average in the 210s) with 7 weeks of studying.
I don't want to fail STEP 2 CK. I have Family Medicine (6 weeks) as my last rotation so I'll study then. After that, I have 4 weeks off to take STEP 2 CK. Is this sufficient time? I can try to take 6 weeks off if I want to, but I am not sure if that is necessary.
Also, should I schedule time off to take my CS exam? Or should I just try to get a day or two off of my rotation in 4th year to take the exam? Thank you all. Sorry for asking vague stuff here, we just have not had the same type of guidance in terms of scheduling STEP 2 with new advising deans stepping in this year.
