Can anyone recommend which versions I should be taking? All the info I find is regarding step1...

I'd like to "save the best for last"- so any help would be appreciated.

I've researched it and haven't found one that seems to be better at predicting like Step 1. From what I've seen, most take them in order and 2 and 3 are somewhat close. Of course, they've probably studied more by that time.

Take all of them and the 3 block exam provided by the ECFMG.... and also use the estimator online here. .... if you get any where around 190-200 .. you're set;)

The three part exam from ECFMG- is that the same as the Fred Software? Is it downloadable?

Thanks

When are you taking Step 2CK? You think it's doable after just an IM and Surgery rotation?

What score are you shooting for? 240+? if so IM and surgery is not enough...my exam was heavy on IM, with other subjects in between. However, you need to points to rack up your score. You should at least take OBGYN and maybe peds...if you want to just pass, take a risk and hope for the best.

I want a 95 on the two digit to secure my desired residency.
