Hello!
::very_confused::
As far as I understand I can take CS in any eligible time independently from STEP 2 CK like it was before with CSA.Is it true ? Or Step 2 is becoming one two-day exam (like for example Step3)?

Step 2 CS will be a 1(one) day examination exactly like the former CSA.
When you will you take Step 2 CS you will not need TOEFL exam any more.
Plus there will be more test locations:

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - available beginning June 2004*
Atlanta, Georgia - available beginning July 2004*
Los Angeles, California - available beginning August 2004*
Chicago, Illinois - available beginning September 2004*
Houston, Texas - available beginning September 2004*

Regards!

Thank you very much prep4usmle!
One more question : may I take STEP 2 CK 4-6 moths later after ST 2 CS (or before)?

Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 2 CS may be taken in any sequence.
See the Eligibility Requirements and Sequencing for Step 2 CS at USMLE.org site:
