People seem to do better on step 2 CK. So what is considered a competitive step 2 score? I was an idiot and released my step 2 CK score even though it was 7 points below my step 1. I think it is still OK, but I hate to show them that I went down. What are some ranges? is 240+ still really good, or does it rise to say 250+?

Thats just it man...you are clueless....do you really think that anyone, I mean ANYONE is looking at your scores for step 2 if you got 240+ on step 1? And then do you think there is a difference between a 240+ and a 250
+? You think they are going to take you or not take you based on the fact that you guessed just a little bit better than the guy who got a 230+?

Stop worrying about this stuff and start working on how to make a good impression and convince everyone that you will be a good DOCTOR, not a good test taker

wait a second sawbonz.. either i'm all smacked out or you wrote this a few months ago -

"Im sitting here trying to study for step 2 and I have lost all motivation....my application is in and I am waiting for interview offers. I have a pretty solid application and step 1 score, so i am not including my step 2 score.

I just feel like I need to study but I CANT

does it really matter how you do on step 2? Will fellowships care down the line?"

i'm going to get a 210 on step 2 and smile when i do.

don't apologize or be sorry, Pod, just because someone called you clueless just because you might be a little on the anal side. truth be told, we're all anal as hell. the only caveat is that we have to, at some point, admit it to ourselves.

- man with big stick
