General Comments : Be yourself. I know most neurosurgeons want to make the whole world believe that their job is holly and something that only geniuses can master. But really, when you think about it, it’s pretty mechanical and certainly nothing that you can’t learn after seven years. Good luck.

Just curious- is there a particular reason you decided to take Step 2 CK after having scored well on your Step 1?  I only ask because I was counting on taking Step 2 CK later so that my score wouldn’t be known before the match.  Thanks-
