you should take step one after basic sci and save step 2 etc for later even if allowed to do otherwise. there is a reason its patterned this way. all you've done is get further away from the step one. 6 months is a heck of a long time to study for it and if you had reviewed immediate after the basic sciences you'd be in better shape. for others, i HIGHLY advice doing them in order. Otherwise you tend to just delay your progress and get mediocre scores on the boards. For the OP, foucs on the step one. You'll probably have to explain that step two score to some PDs but you can't look back. Just focus on doing EXCEPTIONALLY well on the step one and good luck.
