To take or not take step2

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Is it general recommendations to take step2? 233 on step 1 applying IM 2023. Would I be shooting myself in the foot if I only took one exam?
Do you want to apply to academic IM? If so then you should. If you are aiming for a community program then its okay without step 2.
 
What if I did worse on Level 2 than Step 2? does my comlex matter if I did well on step 2?

How's your level 1 score? I think as long as you pass level 2 you should be good and taking step 2 at the same time and do well.
 
Level 1 540, step 1 227
Level 2 510, step 2 245
What specialty are you thinking? My level 2 was also lower than my level 1 and I matched but again I went to FM.
Congratulations your score are really good!!!
