failed step 2 ck 2 times, need advice - mleproblems
#1
passed step 1 and step 2 cs with first attempt, but failed in step 2 ck two times due to intense presures around me to just give the exam and get done with it....now i feel really down and dont know if giving it the third time would be of any help at all or not....do i have a chance at residency in US now?how do i go through the intense hard work again with such negativity? would b thankful of any good advice

I have the same situation as yours, passed step 1 and CS first attempt but failed Ck last week. I am studying again for second attempt of CK.
I would say that you have enough experience of taking the exam twice and studying twice for the exam. So you know what to do to prepare more the exam.
Do a focus review and I think MTB3 should help you if you know it inside out.
Secondly You are almost there to get your ECFMG certification so go for it.
at least you don't have to regret in the future that you didn't finish your exams.
lets do the first thing first which is your exam and take care of the other things later which is residency.

thnx...its justso hard to get away from negativity...i mean i am married...i have my husband and kids to look after and every body is waiting for me to get this done...its incredible pressure and then what do u have to look fwd to in the future?...i mean no one cares what we may have gone thru...an intelligent person may lose due to the bad circumstances around them....but u cannot b excused...im sorry...im not trying to depress anyone else...i just wish there was a support forum for mle takers so that ppl who fail could get together there and help each other to get thru

dont worry we're in the same boat, i took step1 and failed and now i have to take step2 ck coz i already applied for it, not expecting that i will fail step one... anyway im taking ck in 2 days and im again not confident if i will pass... im so scared.... im also married and pressure is really killing me too....

Dear mleproblems, Please read carefully,

I am very sorry to hear about your situation, whats done is done. Stop worrying about your failure. Take a break and start preparing freshly.
Read exam experiences posted on this forum and make your own study plan. Use a good resources like Kaplan and UW, do them repeateedly until your concepts are clear. Practice questions on timed mode. Keep some time to relax/listening to good music/spend time with family.
After a good read give nbme. Dont go to exam until you have exceeded the safe limit that is your score in 90s. If its hard to read alone find a study partner and stick to a schedule.

Dont think about residency at this point. Concentrate on being done with this exam and get a ECFMG certificate. There are many specialties/programs available where people have matched with attempts especially if no visa is required. Believe in yourself. Nothing is impossible. You are already a doctor.

Good Luck! and God Bless.
