Why did you take Step 2 CK before Step 1 CK?
Step I is basic sciences and usually if you do below you want on Step I people utilize Step 2 to pull themselves up before residency applications. I think the consensus is that Step 2 is viewed more indicative of residency potential and than Step I. Step 2 is much more diagnostic, clinical kowledge based and applied knowledge things that are important in a good resident.
As mentioned before Step 2 CS is pass/fail and thus only hurts possibly if you fail, otherwise it's a moot point and just jumping thru hoops that aren't particularly difficult.
