Thanks Ra7man. @ Mezo : You said your friends advised you to read the preclinical primer in FA before 2 CK ( Can you tell me what is that ? is it a chapter in FA step 1 ? or is it scattered through out the book ? ) Thanks for your help Mezo. 
U r welcome y basha,
In each chapter in FA of CK, there is a couple of pages that are called preclinical primer, they supposed to include the step1 knowledge that will help u in this chapter like in cardio, gives u an idea about the cardiac cycle, the action potential and elctricitiy of the Heart and so on ... i tired to use it but i couldn't benefit from it coz it is just a summary for those who already have good knowledge of these infos, may be i used them wrong i don't know, but when i complained about lack of step1 knowledge, friends on the forums adviced me of those ....
read kono's post too, Kono, did all the steps in Emtiaz with Flying Scores MASHA ALLAH, he is an Idol for our lil community here .. i'll quote it for u

This part is for u 7ooda ..... from our Idol

hi ya mezo
my advice is to do your best,tusting that you can have high score, and the most important ted3y rabna
i see that there is no need to do the last form of nbme if you score good in the other form.
what to focus on, i am afraid to direct you to specific subject and may you will not find it in your exam.

And Ra7man, surgery resident is possible. try to get an externship and U.S. LORs while doing your C.S. exam.
Some programs offer residencies for people who have done externships at the same place, search for these.
This site might help:

If you couldn't find a categorial position, go for preliminary surgery and try to impress your consultants.
Have a back up plan like IM ( any residency is better than nothing ) unless you have already started your university residency here in Egypt in surgery.
Other solutions are possible if you intend to do your residency then travel with your Master degree cleared.

@ ra7man,
Don't book CS until u know ur status in the army, then preparing for CS is from FA and UW, then practice alot with a study partner, about ur english, u need to stay for at least a month in USA doing observer or externship and u've to keep chatting with everyone to improve ur language, if u can't do that then, having a course here is a good idea too, but where?? don't do it in a local center , u should either do it in Amideast or AUC, u need to practice ur spoken language and this is through conversation with an amercian individual or one who is fluent in it ...
U can find a study partner for CS in http://www.usmlebuddies.com/ it was working, i tried today but it didn't work, may be it is a prblem with my Anitvirus or something, try it urself, and u can find a study partner here too ..

u r welcome Ra7man,
BTy, i was thinking about ur surgery q, look, it is difficult for an IMG to get a surgery residency, unless holding a Green Card but still hard, also, ur step2 score make it more difficult ... but nothing is imposible, if u really really really sure about surgery, then u've to do ur best ... i think the best plan is to take some observers in surgery and ya salam la external, but these ofcourse are hard to get but try, then u have to impress the staff their by every mean, then apply for Family medicine y?? coz it includes training in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Ob/GYN & surgery, although not too much surgery but still, so u can use this period to show ur capability and impress the attendants there in surgery department during ur rotation, then after finishing PGY1 u can reapply the next yr in surgery will be holding 1 yr USCE ur internship yr in family medicine and ofcourse will get lots of recommendations and u can apply in the same program where people know u and if u didn't make it then u r working in the closest field to surgery ... what do u think about that ???
Of course when u get there, everything can change, this is only what i can think of now ..

thanks mezo
good thinking but i think it is more useful if i apply to prelim surgery.
what about categorial surgery after prelim?
I know it is so difficult but i will apply for some int medicine also.
int medicine there is better than anything her.
the problem is that i love surgery and anesth and both is so difficult.
i have applied in the lottery for green card, ya mosahel.

I think this was a bad idea ra7man, as this may weaken your chances of getting the visa for CS..., they'll know that you want to immegrate and may not give you the visa.....,
there was some one posting some similar experience here some time ago
