hi,

i just did step 2 yesterday and i am going to take step 1 next year, so i did what you are planning to do.
i graduated a few months ago and had an oral exam in med,peds,ob/gyn and surgery, so i just added 1 month of studying (after a three weeks break where i moved here to the states, i just did first aid for step 2 and the nms and mock exam questions) and took step 2.
of course i still cant tell you what the real outcome was, but i felt as if i made the right decision.
of course you will ahve to decide for yourself, but if you are studying that high yield subjects anyway it makes sense to me.

good luck and a happy holiday!
:wink:
