Im currently scheduled to write my CK exam this wednesday the 20th. I've taken 4 NBMEs self assessment exams in the past 3 weeks and I'm consistently scoring in the 207-210 range.. Took my last one today and hit a 209 and I feel deflated. I scored a 210 on my step 1 and was really hoping to make up for the low step I score. I'm stuck on deciding whether to postpone the exam or just go for it and take it the damn thing... I'm your average joe student, attended a med school in Puerto Rico and to be honest, Im nervous that a low step 2 score will hurt me when it comes to the match and PM&R. Any advice from the wise?? Should I postpone the exam or should I go for it? Thanks and appreciate any advice. Take care

Take it, get it over with, and enjoy the rest of your last year of med school. Spend time rotating at a program instead of going nuts studying for CK.
