Step 1 vs. Step 2

I was curious to know what people thought of the two tests in reference to each other. Did you feel one was easier than the other? I thought both were equally hard. I am trying to gage how I did on step 2 by comparing to my feeling of preparedness for step 1 and the score i got. 3-4 wks before I find out about step 2.

Personally, I thought that Step II was much easier/managable than Step I. I felt like as I was studying I was reviewing things that I already knew as opposed to relearning the Kreb's Cycle and other useless factoids. My 3cents.

Hi

I thought Step 2 was more difficult, but my step 2 score ended up being better. It is very hard to try to predict your score based on how you feel...

good luck !

I walked out of both tests swearing that I failed. After step 2 I knew I failed. Much worse feeling on step 2 because many of the answers are correct and one of the things you must do....BUT NOT the one thing you should do NEXT!! I felt on Step 2 that I knew only 1/4 of the questions. But, I ended up doing OK (230/93 I and 229/93 II). I guess out of 376 questions, 76 of those are automatically thrown out (TEST for Test questions). So it may may those 76 that look like they are from left field....good luck to ya!
