In the Step 2 CS videos where they introduce themselves as "Dr", as does the scenarios in First Aid S2 CS. Presumably these are MS-4 students taking this exam. So, did you introduce yourself "Student Doctor"?

I introduced myself by my first name and said I was a 4th year medical student in all the scenarios. And I passed.
 
Somewhere I remember reading that you definitely SHOULD NOT introduce yourself as doctor as it could be a sign of dishonsty. Be safe, call yourself "medical student with the team." I did and passed.
 
I said student doctor - I felt like a total fool saying it though. The employees at the testing center kept calling us student doctors - so I went with it. I passed.

I seem to remember the test center telling us we could introduce ourselves however we liked-- I think they said we didn't even have to use our real names. They'll give you a chance at the test center to ask this question and clarify what they want there.

I used by first and last name in all situations without a qualifying statment (student doctor v. medical student v. Dr. ____)

It will have NO bearing on the exam no matter how you introduce yourself, AS LONG AS YOU'RE POLITE.
