hi friends... its my very first message on this forum after silently checking it for some time and then deciding to ask for ur useful advice...
guys i took my step2 ck in jan and dint clear it... i havent been able to start it again.. now i plan to take cs before my ck. my cs is in june end. i plan to start studying for ck from july 1st and then appear for it by august end...2 months prep. in order to be able to go for the match.. i have late eighties in my step1.
friends i want u to help me and advice me if its possible for me to take ck in two months ( alot of guys on this forum have taken it in around 3 months and so 2 months for my second attempt looks acceptable to me ) ? and wht do u guys think, if I God willing do as i plan, are my chances in the match?
Ill really appreciate ur help friends.
Thanks alot.
i studied for max 3 months in my first attempt

maan_img,
it sounds like you didn't spend enough time to prepare well for the exam...
If you are truly concerned about your chances to get matched, I think you need to postpone you plans to apply for residency 2008. We all know that negative result (i.e. failure) on the ECFMG certificate does affect the likelihood of being accepted... So, spend more time on preparation to CS and CK, and just move forward... Do not be obsessed with the idea to get into residency ASAP. Be realistic...
GL
