or take CS to apply in september with its result+ step1 results?

if u take cs in sept then when r u planning to take ck?
cs is a 2 week job, so it doesnt really matter much in the scheme of things. i did it in between my ck prep. took 2 wks off for cs then resumed ck study

if I will tjle CK, I'll be able to apply for match on November
if I insist to apply in september I'll have CS in July, better than applying only with step 1
which seem better?

Take CK as soon as you can( make sure you are prepared and scoring well on NBME). Step 2 CS is a simple exam provided you have good communication skills and I agree with Maverick prep time is 2 wks. Apply to programs early (as late as Sept end) with step 1 scores. If you apply in Nov most interview slots have already been filled. CK scores are more important than CS.
Bottom line- Apply with step1 scores in Sept. Prepare well for CK- take ASAP and squeeze in CS. If all steps taken before end of Oct you are OK.

whats ur step 1 result??
take cs as soon as possible. then get down to ck studies. CS wud delay ur CK by only 2 weeks. so its but obvious u shud take cs before as its result takes considerably longer than ck
so take cs then ck ASAP. apply with step 1 result in sept. CS result wud not come b4 october even if u take it tomorrow.

yeah ,but the 2 weeks may help me alot with CS scores in hand while being in interviews, notice that without CS I'll set to CK on 1/10 , with CS I'll set for CK on 15/10, which means scores on 15/11 = after all interviews
does it worth to have the CS score in interview?
