mhakeem ,
Donot get depressed.When I received my Ck result ,I was in real shock ,I was thinking step 2 was much better than step 1 for me.But look at my scores ,performed better on step 1 .
:idea: I think we never get the real picture of our prep with our performance on kaplan/Uworld/NBME.Real exam is always different because of the time pressure.
:idea: Keep your eye focussed on your goal .No matter how much time it will take ,our effort will not go wasted.
I always take example of an ant ,which is smallest creature ,though weak ,tries again and again ,until it succeeds in its task .
I have got 83 in Ck and 89 in step 1 ,but no interviews until today .
Some PC says they didn't review my application ,some say we need ECFMG cerfication ,I am waiting for Cs result .
My college in backhome lost the letter for degree verification ,got only transcript verified until now. Though its not my fault ,I am suffering here.
Getting into residency is a lengthy process .Intially it looks green everywhere ,but when u r done with exams and start your applications ,then the real game begins.
All the best !!

first, congratulations for taking step 2ck..that in itself is an accomplishment. Now just use that learning experience to do better next time. In a few years when you're in a residency program, you won't even think about this anymore.
