They did a research and they said that step 2 is more highly regarded than step 1. This is what the programme directors said in a meeting of the AAMC.

Correct - Step 2 has more clinical information rather than book knowledge. The three PDs that I have worked for all looked at Step 2 scores as more important.

Yes, it's true. Although most of the USMLE books and reviews says, step 1 score is crucial, in reality it is the step 2 ck score which matters most.
