Pros and Cons of Taking USMLE Step 1 with Step 2CK After Rotations
Traditionally, the USMLE Step 1 exam has been taken after the first 2 years of medical school. In the past, taking this exam marked the transition from preclinical years to the wards. Then, after finishing the core clerkships, students would take the USMLE Step 2CK exam.

Such students typically take USMLE Step 1 either simultaneously or back-to-back with Step 2CK.
