I just took step 2 last wk, before step 1. I know doing step 1 before is advt. o step 2, but I am an old grad. so want ed to study clinicla subjects before step 1 . but when I am looking at step 1 , I have similar feeling that this is almost done in step2 , so, if you do step 2 before step1 you should get advt. in step 1, and vice versa. I think there is no clrear cut demarcation in step 1 and 2, lot of overlap.
