hi everybody
i just got my step1score 216/88 do you think i gotta chance for int. medicine residency programme university affilkiated please reply thanx

Are you talking about a chance for this year or next years match. Those scores are pretty good so i think you have a chance next year. For this year, anything is possible, but I think it's too late to get any interviews with just step 1 scores being available starting late nov.

oh, one more thing..don't get too caught up in the whole "what are my chances" factor. I know it's something that almost everyone thinks about (me included), but thinking about it too much isn't going to do you any good...all it's going to do is drive you crazy and make you worry. You can have a score of low 80's and make it or high 90's and don't. Sure the better you do the better your chances, and that's life, but scores don't account for everything. Focus on doing what you need to do to make yourself a better applicant and enjoy your current life. Best of Luck!!

There are probably alot of resources but for step2CK check out kaplan. It's comprehensive but expensive. You can always go to ebay and type in a search for some study materials to see if there's anything on CD. For step2CS look into First Aid. The practice senarios are pretty good. Step 2cs doesn't so much test your knowledge but more so of your patient interaction and exam skills. Practice alot on 2CS especially if your english is not so great or if you get performance anxiety. Actually, even if your english and performance skills are good you still want to practice 2CS because points are deducted if you forget to do simple things like introduce yourself, wash your hands, stuff like that.
