hey all
i was wondering if one of the first 2 steps ( step 1 and 2ck) was more important than the other as far as program directors are concerned when applying for a residency
so lets keep this question simple i know that its important to get both exams above the mean and the higher the better
but for an unlucky person ( not really unlucky just didnt do his work right)
which would be better to have a step 1 above the mean lets say 90 and a step 2 below it (80) or the other way around?
or maybe an avarage?
do the program directors prefere one of the exams over the other?
any hints?
thanks all[/img]

Step 2CK score is more important although I remember I had an older first aid book where they wrote step 1 is more important.
Regards!

thanks guys for the quick replies
the reason y i am concerned is that i got an 83 on step 2 and i'm aiming for a score in the 90s for step 1 and i wanna know if that would really affect my chances?
KEROCHI can u tell me which center he's doin his residency at?
as i said once before on one of my posts i really lack the support in my home country cz all my friends got 99s on both exams so i dont think anyone can help me out and i'm really concerned
thanks all
