Hi, this is my first post on the Step 2 forum. Gave my Step 1 today so am still in a strange world. Just trying to get my thoughts in order about what to do next. I was going through both the CS and CK forum and noticed some folks gave one before the other so am really not sure how to go about. All assistance will be appreciated. If you could also outline the material that I need to use for both the exams

What makes you think there's a difference in taking one before the other? Just take them whenever you feel comfortable taking them..

Just keep in mind that if you're trying to make the '08 match, you might want to take the CS first, as it takes more time for the CS result to come back.
